AA for me is learning to lead a rich, full, and satisfying life without alcohol. I saw how others did it and incorporated what they did into my own life. AA is a blueprint for living and without it I would be dead.
For the first 1.5 years I went 6 days a week. Over the years I backed off to 3 meetings weekly which seems to be what I need. Going to meetings is very important getting a sponsor and working the steps will keep you sober. Doing both will open the doors to a life that is better than you can imagine
