I'm not a fan of AA. I've been to rehab and went back to drinking after. I wasn't ready to quit. Maybe it works when you are ready? I have 16 months sober and I only do one online meeting a week because I've come to love many of the sober people in this one woman's meeting but I don't go to any others. I hate vocally talking about myself but some people live for that. I've noticed that listening to a million podcasts and reading books from people that have recovered is that many DON'T do AA and they are fine. I think just having something that keeps you accountable is good. Which is why I started writing here on Medium about it and started my own sober Instagram account. That's what works for me :)
