I stayed clean & sober for 10 years before attending meetings. I wasn't very happy though. I was basically 'tolerating' life.
I have been attending meetings for close to 5 years now, sometimes 2 per day, and I learn more and more about how to manage life and be happy, without drugs and/or alcohol.
I don't go to meetings to keep from drinking/using, I go to meetings to learn more about enjoying life.
Recovery, to me, now, means enjoying life.
I enjoy life 100% more when I attend meetings regularly.
