I too have struggled with AA. Having experienced religious trauma as a child, my personality disorder (NOS) and throw in some assorted mental illness's, I've had to practice "progress not perfection" myself. Some days I have made little progress, even regressed a bit other times. However, overall I have made progress. With a lot of persistence to get better, I feel Ive come a long way to overcome some of the difficulties that would keep me ill.
Have a look at
Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA). Ive found their meetings and program useful. Maybe DRA is something that may interest you.
