Should I Start Attending AA?

Question by ? ?: Should I start attending AA?
I am a 23 year old female and I am an alcoholic. After a recent break-up, my drinking got significantly worse. I have finally realized that i have a serious drinking problem. I look back over the years and basically I have driven drunk probably over a hundred times – but sooner or later i will get caught. My family, specifically my parents have had enough of my drinking. My mom wants me to go to AA meetings and offered to come with me. Part of me really will miss alcohol… its a crutch.. its my fun and even an emotional release. I am going to be starting medical school soon and i will never succeed in any career unless i get this under control. Is it childish of me to request my mother come withme to AA meetings…….. im afraid to go
