My recovery began in AA, but I don't really attend meetings anymore. AA told me to believe that a power greater than myself could help rid me of the obsession to drink alcohol, and I found that power in God. Far as I can tell, the 12 Steps of AA are all covered in the Bible, so as long as I'm living my life in accordance with what I believe God's teachings to be, I should be doing the 12 Steps in my life every single day.

That's not to say you have to believe in God to have success in AA; quite the opposite. In my case, it was almost like once I found God through AA, and put my faith in Him, the actual AA part was superfluous.

Not sure if that makes sense to anyone else, but it does to me.
