I found the same thing about AA after a while. I did AA pretty strictly a few years back, but it stopped helping as much as it hurt I felt. I have been to good meetings that I enjoyed, but also those that just made me worse. I had a big bobble a year ago, but have been sober since almost a year. I haven't been to an AA meeting. I check in here, go to the gym or run outside, eat a good diet, get rest, spend time with family and of course solve the world's political insanity in my head.
There is so much to life that I don't spend much time thinking about "not drinking" as I do doing something else. There are a lot of something else's I will not get the opportunity to do if I choose to drink instead so I don't. I will say that physical activity is a major or the major part of my "program". It keeps me sane.
