Public humiliation is precisely what led a long time very close friend of mine to AA 25 years ago at the age of 65. I was at his 90th birthday party last Saturday. He has not had any alcohol in all that time.

Try attending some open AA meetings. You might be surprised at what it took for some alcoholics to get sober.
