I always suggest AA to a someone newly sober. Even though I am no longer a member myself, I do think that for some it is the only way. It just wasn't my way. Although, I do not think that I would be creeping up on my year mark if it wasn't for the exposure that I got in AA my first few months of sobriety. I am grateful that I did attend AA in the beginning. I just do not attend anymore.
I do still go to individual therapy and that seems to be working for me. I've cut back a bit on the amount of sessions simply because I am feeling strong and good with myself right now. If I slip or go back out, if I don't die from my addiction, I would probably start over with AA.
But for now, what I'm doing is working and I see no reason to change the way that I am staying sober.
