Welcome aboard
Nothing wrong with finding your own path to sobriety! I'm a free thinking soul from a long way back who doesn't have a herd mentality...but I was ready to bail from my self directed recovery and join the first herd that lumbered past if I was seriously thinking about drinking again!!!
Luckily, with the help of SR, I managed to recently get past the one year sober mark. You can too, if you want to.
