I’ve been sober nearly 4 years.

Just over a week ago I did an amends (9th step) that’s been with me for a long time.

I have things I’m sure I’m still 4th stepping.

I go long periods without going to a meeting these days, but keep it near as a tool.

‘God’ to me is a different-than-Christian concept and isn’t a ‘Him’.

And yet, with all of this and more, AA remains a powerful and important tool in my recovery.

If you find yourself angrily rubbing up against something in AA, there may be value in a deeper inquiry of what’s going on for you.

If you find yourself getting value from AA, earnestly and honestly taking it into your recovery as a tool, opening yourself to what it can offer and offering back what you’re able.... then you’re doing just fine, in my experience.
