I worked the steps and had my spiritual awakening which is the AA program i know...i went to an AA meeting 3 weeks ago as i have been travelling on hols, i sleep with a fully stocked mini bar in the room of the Hotel, i eat most meals with a complimentary drink put in front of me and everytime i go out people are drinking...does it bother me in the slightest...not even for a nanosecond...why?

If you wanna get recovered and live life to the fullest being able to go anywhere and do anything you choose to do then you could do what i did or something else that works...never found anything else that worked for me and tried it all...
BTW actually working the steps involves work...going to meetings doesn't which is why you may find that a lot of people simply dont do them...one route is obsession and the other freedom...simple as:-)
