Sort of existing on the fringes of AA, going to meetings a couple times a week, but haven't really engaged in the program at this point. I feel like I am regaining some clarity in my thinking and I am giving some thought to exactly how I plan to approach recovery going forward.
I am no longer the miserable, isolated, angry person I was drinking. And I don't feel like there are these deep rooted issues that left unaddressed will force me to be miserable and drink again if I don't start doing steps. Removing alcohol has made a big difference, part of me feels like not drinking is enough, every part of my life is better as a result.
Last night I got to a meeting and "Is Not Drinking Enough?" was the topic, so I got to hear 15 people explain how people like me are doomed to be a dry drunk, miserable and certainly drunk again, if we don't get a sponsor and get busy. I just listened and did not participate in the discussion. But it certainly has me thinking.
Oh well, I hope everyone is doing well.

Yep, I'm still here. It's nice having someone who is always that next step away from me. I think you are doing an excellent job, no need to stress yourself wondering if not drinking is enough, it is. If you are always not drinking then you are reaching your goal of sobriety right? Isn't that what you came here for in the first place?
