I don't specifically go to AA, but I do attend 4 groups a week at my local veterans hospital that focus on vets with both PTSD and substance abuse.

Not being alone in recovery and finding cameraderie with others at similar points in their life has been the single biggest help I've had in my recovery.

Unless a person has been through substance abuse, I've found that people just don't understand how it can impact your life.
