This is where I am at too. I attended a few Refuge meetings but it was not really convenient for me and as it is now, I truly do not need any meetings. I did get a lot out of Noah's books and it really brought me to the next level.
Like you, sitting daily has also brought me in closer tune with myself and the world (well at least it really calmed my ass down
).
I do consider myself recovered now and while I know that nothing is permanent, life is suffering, things change yaddy yaddy yadda I do not attend recovery groups and my meditation practice is what works for me at this stage.
Noah Levine is giving a lecture in my City tomorrow and I cleared my schedule and will be attending.
