saying you need accountability but "just don't have the option" is untrue,steve. personally I think its a copout.
AA meetings wont make you accountable nor will they help you recover.going to meetings and not drinking doesnt treat alcoholism.
in "how it works" it says:
"here are the steps we took which are suggested as a program of recovery."
action.
early AAer's didn't have the luxury of meetings close by. they got sober with nothing but the big book- they did what the big book suggested, recovered, and started meetings.
