miamifella-
I hope you'll keep looking for a meeting that reflects your present recovery needs. Some of what you posted had me going
becuse here - you come to a meeting you get a list of phone numbers and you USE them. Got nothing to do with steps gotr everything to do with not picking up the first drink between meetings.
So I don't know anything about having to complete the 12 steps before you can call someone for help and support when that need hits.
I'm baffled by that and can't get past that part of your opening post to see what else might be going on?
LOL
OCD alcoholic mind at full steam ahead here, apparently.
