11 months sober and I think I am going to quit AA.
I am honestly scared because of the horror stories from people leaving the room, but I don’t want AA to be my whole life. I don’t want to tell myself I’m an alcoholic, I don’t want all my friends and relationships to be from AA. I liked a quote I read here. I want recovery to give me a life, not be my whole life. I'm tired of the immense guilt I feel because my heart isn't all the way in, but I'm terrified to quit at the same time. I want to forge my own path and create an awesome friends group! I'm just scared of ending up at step 0 again, but at the end of the day, I've lived my life doing uncomfortable things to better myself. If I fail, AA will always be there.
