AA meetings are wonderful places where you can make friends and find that sense of belonging. You can feel a part of a group, and feel accepted, and that commradery becomes an alternative to alcohol. There may also be an AA group for teens. (I forget what they're called. I want to say Al-Ateen, but I think that's for teens who have a family member or friend who has a problem with alcohol. You can go to that group too.) Anyway try different AA groups, see if you find one you like. There's also Celebrate Recovery groups which is AA with a sprinkle of Christianity. Or a local Unitarian church may have their own form of AA with less God. Find a group you like and you may find the drinking takes care of itself. (In the meantime, don't drive if you've been drinking.)
