My First year in AA I was told "MEETING MAKERS MAKE IT" after a year of 7-9 meetings a week sometimes more I got drunk,

when I came back I learned through a strong AA sponsor and the Big Book that if I had an alcoholic mind the day would come when I would drink regardless of how many meetings I went to,

I took the steps and recovered and lost my dependancy on alcohol and meetings and gained a dependency on God, he keeps me sober today,

so I learned exactly what Jim said plus the fact that alcoholics with alcoholic minds can't have a life changing, life saving spiritual experience sitting on their ass in a meeting (my experience)

I learned step takers make it.
