I to got sober outside of AA. When my obsession was finally lifted I realized that what worked for me was I;

1. Admitted that I was licked
2. Appealed to my Higher-Power for help
3. Detached from my self-reliance
4. Turned my thoughts to helping others

Not exactly the 12 steps of AA but close. Close enough that I now participate in and support AA as a program of action.
