You do whatever you need to in order to stay sober. Where I live the only option is AA and if I felt like going I would go. When I first got sober I did go and it was nice the clapping when you get a chip and all.

I only got a 30 day chip and then lost interest but, I still carry that 30 day chip. You may hear a lot of things in the meetings that disagree with your idea of recovery... I know I did but, "take what you want and leave the rest" is true with AA.

I do warn you about mentioning RR or giving out your # to anyone at the meetings. I got my head bitten off after a meeting for bring up RR when one of the members was talking to me about why I was not doing steps..... despite being 3 months sober. She flipped out when I said I do not practice AA but, do practice RR.

The one person I gave my # to called me at work A LOT preaching "sponsor and meetings" so I had to eventually tell her to leave me alone. Then I felt bad going back to that meeting. Which sucks bc I really liked it.

Anyway just my opinion but, you can do both if you want.
