I've said this in the Class of March thread too; I was really resistant to AA for many years.
I battled through several periods of drinking and then stopping on my own. I've also done a lot of personal work with therapy and books and church (which is a whole other topic). None of them in themselves were completely the answer. I think an integrative approach is the best thing for
me. I need the meetings to find some non-drinking people and to remind me what's waiting for me if I go back to drinking. All by itself I'm not sure it would meet all my needs. But that's just me. I'm sure for many people that's all they need, and maybe someday I will stop going. Time will tell.
