Why do we say this ~

Because thousands of people in AA have said so for many years. They found out the truth about themselves ~ the hard way.   But again, only you can decide whether you think you want to give A.A. a try.   Try to keep an open mind on the subject.   If you would like to find out more about A.A. you can check the links in here,   post a message to someone in this group and we can get back to you and chat about it   OR  find the Alcoholics Anonymous number in your local phone book and call them.   There is no shame in admitting that your an alcoholic,  the wrong thing, is to do nothing about it.
