Interesting replies!

It does kind of blow my mind that after my last time in rehab nobody pulled me aside either and said "There's other stuff that can work too". It was more or less "It's our way or the highway" in the rehabs I went to.

I tried to edit my post last night to not mention the double A, but it was too late. FWIW, there is something I still like about those meetings....namely being surrounded by other people who drank like me and feeling some camaraderie in that. I've been to a SMART meeting too, and I liked that as well but they are obviously hard to come by. In general, I too drank alone and tend to feel the bulk of my recovery needs to be solitary as well and not dependent so much on others or a group.

I just got Trimpey's Small Book and like it lots so far!
