Double winner here. I got sober by the grace of HP long before I was "sentenced" to AA by a CPS judge during our final custody battle, small price to pay for custody!
I do not struggle with my sobriety, ever, thank God. But my "emotional sobriety" is totally another story, and THAT is where my priority lies.
In our opening we ask that those affiliated with other 12 step programs keep them to themselves, as to not interfere with the "Alanon" meeting at hand. We also have a lot of double winners.
I'd avoid Mr. AA, take what you like and LEAVE the rest.
Good for you for going, a big step in the right direction.
Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote
