Hi Carly
Opinions on AA? LOL.
The only observation I have is that we are having a discussion about going to meetings, texting sponsors, all that... None of that is AA.
AA is a program of recovery. A spiritual solution. The 12 steps. All this other stuff is just the messy world we live in and make for ourselves. If you put working the steps at the top of your priority, all this other stuff is just drama. Get the big book, find someone to help you go through it, take steps to get recovered.
Wishing you well...
