I've gone to AA at least once a week for the last 18 months, and while I can't give the program all the credit, I haven't taken a pain pill in 18 months. I used to really love snorting those things too. Other than alcohol and mushrooms I've been sober for a year and a half. I'm still trying to find a goddess of my understanding though.
Keep it going man. If it works for you (even a little bit) don't listen to other people on here who clearly never went. I'm over two years sober and I still haven't done all the steps. Don't dread about the steps(not the most important thing), just go, be around other people who you can relate to and just air shit out
See, this is perfect example of different approaches in AA. In my opinion, the steps are most important. But again, do whatever works for you. There are tons of people who never did the steps and tons who did. Find what works for you.
In a cult, there is only one way, the way, to do things. In AA nobody gives a shit. Wanna donate? Fine. Don't want to? Fine. Work the steps? Sure. Combine with other forms of treatment? Go ahead. Relaps? Come back and try again. My group allows drunk people to attend, they are asked to listen. Go to meetings every day or don't show up at all, nobody cares.
People bashing AA are not posting any ground breaking studies, they fail to understand the structure and how it really works. Kind of like the people who bash yoga, they have no clue.
