I thought I had it beat. Didn't need meetings. And relapsed on day 60...and I was sure I had nothing to fear. I find myself needing meetings now b/c I can't continue not using w/o them. Your situation is different I am sure. YOu didn't mention if you had copy of the Big Book and had flipped it open or not. I didn't think I needed to work steps on their own merit b/c I hadn't delved into the workbook and the questions related to the steps. Good luck on your journey.
