Innerchild,
I did not recover by attending meetings. Meetings were a place where I could connect with others who were successfully walking the path, and could show me precisely what they did to recover. I recovered by having a spiritual awakening as the result of taking the Steps as outlines in the BB.
I've seen hundreds, if not thousands, of examples just like yours. Doing well, gung ho, going to a bunch of meetings, praying, and then one day BOOM, the bottom falls out. I did that once myself (minus the praying part) with the same results.
What I have seen work every single time is taking the 12 Steps, from start to finish, as outlined in the BB.
