I am super busy with assisting my elderly parents move to independent living ATM, so don’t have a ton of brain power to write much, but I did want to share a few links on my journey, which you may find of interest.
I have 7+ years of sobriety. Never been to AA or had a sponsor or follow any steps or program. Just never was something that resonated for me personally. I was, however, extremely active here for the first several years in early sobriety. I was here daily (I am retired, so had the time to devote here). That was instrumental for me.
Here is some of my journey if interested…and tho I have never been to AA, I do very much appreciate the path they paved for us all and all the shared knowledge and experience (and sayings!!)…so take what serves you (if anything) and feel free to leave the rest…
