Hi 2b. There are many variables among people so many different answers will be forthcoming. When I finally became sick and tired of being sick and tired of the same old same old I was ready, sound familiar? Back before the internet there weren't many options besides AA that seemed to work or were recommended. I was able to get to a meeting every day and became very active with a group that was active. In other words I got IN AA as opposed to be around the fellowship. Even though most want instant results it's a slow process getting healthy of mind for a lot of us. To me every minute spent within the program is so much worth it. Simply it's great being comfortable in my own skin. Period!
BE WELL
