I committed fully to AA. As I did that, inckuding I think 82 of the 90 meetings in 90 days that is often suggested, I got professional help from drs for my physical and mental health and started to heal my body. I gradually added in other activities, then exercise, thugs that support my recovery. It used to annoy me when people said time takes time but it is true.
I look back and see benchmarks and an evolution through my 29 mo and change in recovery. It is totally worth it to have built and keep looking forward to my life.
