I have never been to any meetings and the whole idea of being part of any group does not appeal to me.
As far as I know both AA and SOS have some kind of step program so if you are so inclined I can see how they could aid in working the steps and if someone needs that I would encourage it but if you don't see any need to work their steps I see it the same way as you. It is just another club.
Having said that I do come to SR everyday for contact with others in recovery and it does help me keep from being bored but the commitment doesn't seem that huge. You can come and go and nobody is going to miss you that much, after all there are 50,000 members.
