I'm glad you found recovery. I can see where you are coming from. For me, I found the basic tools extremely helpful in the beginning. The fact I was working on "me" and not my addiction was a big plus when I was in the "I want to get off my meds but I'm not an addict" phase.

I did attend some great AA meetings in my early recovery though, and the guys in the meeting all were attending to keep their recovery by keeping themselves in check with one or two meetings a week. There were a couple of men who attended daily but for them it was more of a gathering where they would discuss the benefits of the program just as non-alkies and non-addicts will meet with friends at Starbucks.
