And then she send me a message today that she sort of missed me.

I suppose if she comes back to me I have to get over this mini-resentment and take her back, huh?
I have found that there are a good number of people in the AA FELLOWSHIP who don't really believe in the AA PROGRAM. They believe more in those FELLOWSHIP programs . "(Don't drink..go to meetings...keep coming....call your sponsor every day....meetings are for sharing problems to get them out of your system).
Many newcomers are attracted to those FELLOWSHIP programs, because they are easier and softer.
Also, I think it's very difficult for a newcomer to see the relationship between their drinking and those steps.

As to the question you asked at the end, I think you answered it already . Correctly.

I guess you intuitively knew how to handle a situation that used to baffle you.
