I, too, have had my doubts about AA. Especially with the experience I had with my "temporary" sponsor. I have decided to still go to meetings and look for what might be useful. I went to a meeting tonight, in fact and feel better because of it.
One thing I do know is that there are a lot of great people in AA. Many really care and are quite wonderful. You just have to realize that like the world at large, there are all kinds in the program.
I applaud anyone who stays sober regardless of how they do it. I am most impressed with those who stay sober and are happy. That is what I want and for now I am looking in AA. Doesn't mean I won't add non AA elements to the mix in the future. I'll try to keep an open mind.
