I have already made a good step - I have taken time off work. It's my life. It's time to take charge.
I don't take issue with the whole 12 step program, just lots of it. And not even the spiritual part. I'm ok with that part.
I am going to be That Person (in the eyes of AA) who does it Their Way, although really there are LOTS of people who do it their way. I am not the first by a long shot and I won't be the last.
I am NOT going to 12 step rehab...I am not wasting everyone's time and money on that.
There are certainly many ways to sobriety, and I'm not sure why you reference AA in the manner that you did.
I found sobriety through 12 step programs, and I certainly don't shove my way down anyone's throat, nor do I begrudge anyone who finds a different path to sobriety.
Wishing you nothing but the best in your journey!
