AA helped me for a while then my mindset shifted such that I began to dread going so I stopped going although I did stay sober for about another year ( 2 years total ). I didn't blame AA or anything specific( although my sponsor was an old git) it was just me ,I could not bear to hear another long dinkathon .

I did go out drinking again over the next few years each binge being worse than the one before but managed various spells of sobriety. This time I am nearly 5 months .

As mentioned above there are other ways to help with living a sober life .
My main tool is 100 percent acceptance that I can never take even a sip of alcohol and with this acceptance comes a certain peace .

Hope you find your way .
