Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I don't want to entirely quit drinking and pot. I just want to learn some tools to help manage things and keep from having those overboard days. She then referred me to these guys. It's basically AA without all of the higher power BS.

So do you understand that you're an alcoholic? I mean I know I'm one and would love to reach a level of booze reasonableness but I know that if I'm willing to seek professional help for it that that ship has sailed. If you're cool with potentially going off the rails then go ahead and keep drinking but if you're not then you're currently lying to yourself.
