My stubborn arse resists anything that I am told to do!!! Even if I want to go, once someone tells me I have to, I don't want to go anymore!!!!! Sheesh, talk about a stubborn old alcoholic...that would be me!!! My suggestion would be to give one meeting a try, I think you will be surprised to see that it isn't that bad. As for the one or two that bug the bejesus out of you, they will be there in every thing you do, meetings/work/church (if you attend) etc., possibly they are put there to teach us patience, tolerance and kindness...and sometimes, the message they carry is the one we need to hear that day. Don't let anyone keep you from your recovery. Good Luck with whatever you choose to do......AA is only ONE way to recover...there are more, I hope you find what works for you.
