I read the book and went to meetings but internally fought everything about the program. I would half arse everything and considered myself to be too “smart” for the 12 steps to work for me. This approach led me to drink again. It wasn’t until I completely gave myself up to the program and did exactly what was asked of me that things changed.

Thats my experience, but I’m now coming up on 1 year after only being able to string together 3 months of sobriety a handful of times.
