6 years off the Booze now , I went to AA 2 times as where Im from the AA is few and far between , you will only give up once you accept it yourself and do it yourself for yourself and only yourself , I dont feel we all need AA its just do it !!!!!!! be strong and then about the chiks well that will come alot easier when you kick the booze

,, try dancing leasons for chiks good pickup place and no booze .
good luck
