one other thing... just because you might have had a bad experience at one aa or recovery meeting doesn't mean that recovery in general sucks. i always say, there is a reason why most 5:30 pm meetings are called Happy Hour. most trade the room for the bar and although they aren't drinking or using they are still jerks and aren't doing the same stuff they use to do. the old saying is a sober horse thief is still a horse thief. i find that people who are serious about getting sober usually go to morning meetings or smaller meetings (like church meetings). also... men with men, women with women seems to work for most.
