I was told early on in my recovery, "only go to a meeting when you don't want to." I have followed this advice for a few years now, and while there is, in my opinion, NO substitute for taking the steps as quickly as you can and getting a sponsor to show you the way, the frequency of meetings is a function of how comfortable you are with your God and your own sobriety. I know people who attend meetings everyday, and then have a drink to celebrate their consistency of attendance!
Balance is all to me. I came to AA to start living my life again. I have always looked around me in a meeting and found those who have what I want, and then stop them after a meeting and ask them what they are doing. After listening to them I try and follow the advice of the book, "if you want what we have, then you have to do what we did."
MODERATION IN ALL THINGS, INCLUDING MODERATION!
