Mine were relieved once I started got a few steps into my work with my sponsor. How are you getting on with that. (Meetings are great , but they ARENT the program. ) reread ' How it works'. It doesn't say sit in meetings. It says throughly followed the program. Why not ask at yiur next meeting, what do people DO apart from meetings as their AA recovery work. I'm betting that you'll be just as surprised as I was at their responses. Their responses saved my sanity though. Because once I knew what they did outside meetings, I did what they did outside meetings. I learnt the principles, and try to practice them in ALL my affairs. And that's when things started to look better.
