I left because, although the social support and behavioral guidelines were useful for a couple of years, after that, the meetings and the entire program began to have a negative impact on me!. There is a huge emphasis on group-think which is extremely unhealthy!. There is a lot of abuse within the program but no mechanism to deal with it!. And so few people are even helped by the program!.
I am 10 years sober!. I left AA a year ago!. I did go to one meeting in late 07 but was sickened by it, literally sickened to hear a bunch of people talk about how much more honest they are than "normal" people!.!.!.which was SO not true!.!.!.I KNOW those people and they are not honest at all!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I left because there comes a point where AA itself can become a dependency!. I have remained sober, and my last meeting was in 2002!. Though I have had a couple of lapses, I haven't fully relapsed!. And I haven't used or lapsed for 18 months!. Good luck with your recovery!. Peace M!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I left because I wanted to do drugs and drink!.!.!. I go every once in a while when I'm feeling bad about myself but I don't stay for long!.
