Thanks everyone. @sarahsweets


I mainly used the Women for Sobriety program, which is a women only program that is very different from the 12 steps. But I also attend Double Recovery meetings which are an offshoot of AA for addiction and mental health, and so are 12 step based, but I tend to ignore that aspect of it.


I was in AA for years, and took it very seriously and worked the steps, had a sponsor etc., and managed to get a couple of one year, 18 month length periods of sobriety with it. But ultimately I couldn't reconcile my beliefs with some of the steps and so looked for an alternative. Women for Sobriety was a much better fit for me.
