Am I the only one?!

Yes! There were things i was told in my treatment center that turned out not to be.
Like, if you don’t get a sponsor, if you don’t attend meetings, all this recovery talk… That you’ll relapse. Im proof you can do it without. But I will say that the AA book is AMAZING! I think ANYBODY in life could gain from that book. Im an addict and an alcoholic… And I love the book. But some people being so fixed on having to live their lives around meetings and a stamp of “I’m an alcoholic/addict”… To where they think theyll relapse… Is almost dangerous in itself. I had that thought process until i didn’t have a choice but to get clean on my own. Cheers to anybody who got it done & got clean though… All that matters is that we did it, not how we got here

I too am proof that one can do it on their own. I have gone to a few meetings but haven’t attended one in six months. I also didn’t feel the need for a sponsor. Which I don’t knock people for. People should use the resources that are there if they need them. I know for me, I had to do it on my own. It didn’t make sense to have a sponsor. My thoughts are “if I can’t hold myself accountable why on Earth would I believe someone else could.”

As you stated cheers to anyone that got it done.
We are all warriors in the battlefield of life.
