10 months sober...Getting pressure from AA sponsor

So i'm 10 months sober.

And I've used multiple approaches/methods to get this far. AA being one of them. I have a sponsor and I've been in contact with him daily. I've worked the steps. I've attended meetings, with him and without him.

The steps of AA have helped me get a better understanding of myself. The pressure i'm getting from my sponsor is to get a home group and join their business meetings etc... This is NOT something that i'm used to doing and it causes me anxiety to even think about it.

But he keeps asking...Have you found a group have you joined?...You've got the 1 year coming up you NEED to be part of a group.

I attend meetings, i share and i interact with others. Truth be told i don't want a medallion presentation (for the 1 year sober mark...And YES i will make that mark! No doubt in my mind.

I feel like this is a discussion to have with my sponsor...But i don't want him to feel like i'm not being of service to others. I still attend meetings and i'm doing what i feel is right for MY recovery.

Curious on SR's collective thoughts about this...

Not drinking TODAY no matter what.
