go to a meeting and do not pick up. Program of AA is a simple program for complicated people you need to reach out to someone in a meeting and tell them you're struggling. Keep yourself busy. All things will pass as long as you stay focused and do not pick up a drink. It will get easier one day at a time

I tried AA two months ago & idk…. Didn’t love it. Been thinking/talking about trying it and/or NA again. Thank you for reaching out. support is the biggest help. I’ve been talking to a few people. I already fell off. Yesterday was my first day clean again in over a month & I’ve stayed clean today.

I did both NA and AA for about 9 months. They both provide the same message, steps etc. etc. Now I mostly go to NA. I still go to an AA meeting every now and then but I mostly stick to NA. I like that NA includes alcohol. Not to mention that alcohol never got a grip one like several drugs have.
If you go to a meeting and you don't like it you are free to try another meeting. Keep going until you find a meeting you like. That makes all the difference in the world. Not all meetings are the same just like all people are not the same. Going to meetings and reaching out to others for help is the way to get sober and stay sober.
Stay the course. Everyone struggles at different times and for different reasons. DONT BEAT YOURSELF UP for relapsing! Let that resentment go. I also have done both AA and NA. Alcohol has been my main DOC but I’ve found a home in NA this go around. Almost 6mos and this is the longest I’ve been clean AND sober in 30yrs. Do your best to not let this slip shame you into another one. You got this!
