I consider myself a recovery mutt!

I started with outpatient rehab and AA - turned out not to be my cup of tea so I quit both after six weeks. I read my AVRT book again and it turned out that was all I needed. I've read the Big Book (which I love) a few times.
I've also read several other recovery books and gained quite a bit of knowledge now of how addiction works and affects people so that helps me. I've also dabbled in WFS and read SR daily.

Securely, unconditionally and happily abstinent without AA.

Kamriz: 'a recovery mutt'.....brilliant! That's me, too :-)

I was just wondering if anyone is maintaining a happy, sober life without attending AA? I'm at a loss as to what my options are really.

Hello and welcome :-)

I have not been to an AA meeting since July of 2001, at that time I had been sober 5 years. I am the happiest that I have ever been and I don't drink ;-) Our options/paths are infinite and it's difficult for anyone to know what you need personally.

Choices! Choices!

Love,

CS

This is one area where I believe it's important to keep an open mind. Our circumstances are all different so what works best for each of us may also vary. I love the "Recovery Mut" analogy, because there are gold nuggets scattered everywhere the take what works and leave the rest approach does have its advantages.
