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.
Have you actually tried a twelve step approach, or just attended the meetings?

Plenty of people get sober without going to treatment, maybe look into other methods of recovery if you're too resentful at 12 step programs? This site lists many.
