One thing about AA that I heard years ago: "Take what you want and leave the rest". There are some meetings in which it is easy to do, but there are other groups for which it might be difficult. Another option is to look for social groups that have nothing and everything to do with recovery. Those that don't mention it at all, but are healthy outlets for social, emotional, physical, and mental growth. This could be as little as membership to a gym, running club, political clubs, meetup groups, etc........... For me recovery is not about staying away from or not drinking as much as it is flourishing doing something else.
