I wanted to join AA
but my friends and family laughed at the idea. I dont drink excessively but I do feel that alchohol has a hold on me and I would love to be teetotal.

How can alcohol be a problem for you if you don't abuse it?

YOU'RE JUST LIKE HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY :(

I'm not laughing at him, I'm just curious.

having a hold
doesn't necessarily mean abusing.

Feeling the need to drink even a pint a day is enough

I dont abuse it yet
I feel that it has a hold on me and that it is only my force of will that stops me from being an alchoholic. How much longer can I keep the willpower up?

The fact that you can use your willpower so far is a good sign.
You may just need counselling rather than the AA.

I'm the same!
Although it does cause me a fair bit of grief. Mainly financially but I feel I can't make it through the weekend without getting fairly darn drunk.

Then on Monday instead of fresh and full of beans I'm all lethargic and grumpy. The few weekends I do stay off the booze you can tell the difference come Monday morning I can tell you.

Not enough to warrant AA, a more suitable acronym may be MTFU!
