I spent years in AA. My longest term sobriety has been after I stopped going. I don't regret for a minute the time I spent in AA, but I had to come to terms with alcohol and life separate from AA. Each of us has our own journey and should look for any resources that help us with life, but in the end, it is our life to live. I check in here daily or read via a news feed. This group is my primary "recovery" resource at this point. Otherwise, I just live life as full as I can and contribute more than I take in my daily journey. I have not had an alcohol problem for some time now. It is just not for me.
