I haven't done any type of formal program for recovery except I went to AA about a dozen times but it wasn't for me. I believe in God but I'm in charge of my sobriety, my life was not and is not unmanageable, my drinking was and I stopped that. I enjoy reading and responding to posts on SR and appreciate that my way doesn't work for everyone but I agree it is tiring to be told by some that I shouldn't share.
