If under consideration AA is the main reason you are 8 months I would grin and bear it. Anything is better than drinking. However if the answer is no to AA's influence drop it. The people on here mean well but at the end of the day you alone own your sobriety. Despite what the vocal "my way crowd"believes nore than one road to sobriety exists. I personally have never attended an AA meeting and am past a year sober.
