I call them AA junkies. I enjoy AA but I have a full and rewarding life outside of AA. AA keeps me sober so i can enjoy all that life has to offer. It is all about balance which is something I think we all struggle with but being an AA junkie is much better than being an active alcoholic and most people seem to out grow it.
