AA meetings or no?

Hello All,

I am on my 10th day of sobriety, and feel pretty good. I have not yet gone to an AA meeting, not because I haven't wanted to, but because the meetings nearby are offered at times that I really can't make it. I work during the day, and my husband works second shift, and with a young child, that makes it difficult to get out.

The only real option for me is a Sunday night meeting at 7:00 PM. My daughter goes to bed at 7:30 each night, so I would miss tuck in and I am a little reluctant to do that. When I was drinking I missed out on spending more time with her on the weekends because I would go "grocery shopping", but what should have been a 1 hour trip to the store was a minimum of 3 hours because I would stop at a bar to "make my list".

Anyway...my question is this: Are others out there NOT going to meetings and still doing okay? I feel like this SR board is helping a lot and was hoping it would be enough. Thoughts?
