Hi "Jess" ~ I felt the exact same way when I joined AA. I didn't want to do all that "stuff" either. I especially didn't want to call people. I didn't want to call my sponsor all the time, so I just didn't!  I figured I had better work the Steps, so I DID do that. But alot of the other stuff, I just didn't do. I went to meetings cause that's the only way I could stay sober. I didn't work the Steps in ORDER either. I jumped around, and did them in the order I wanted. LOL
You know what? I stayed sober, and this year, God willing, I'll have 18yrs clean & sober. So I guess you don't have to do it exactly "by the book" but you have to WANT sobriety more than anything else -- and I did!
So do what you're told (I should talk) and keep going to meetings - and God bless. And congratulatiions on 30 days! That's marvelous! Hugs, Lee
