Congrats on staying sober! If anyone gives you crap about now working the program "correctly" remind them that the steps & ways of working them are suggestions only. That's written in "How It Works" & in the Big Book. I work the steps in a pretty unconventional manner & so does my sponsor. The only step you have to do 100% is Step One. Anyone who suggests there are hard and fast rules is FOS.

I understand what it's like to go to meetings when manic. After all is said & done it can be pretty embarrassing to return to the meetings where I was at my worst. I just changed meetings for a while until I felt more comfortable returning. Sometimes changing up your meeting schedule is healthy anyways.

Again, congrats on staying sober. Whatever you decide to do regarding meetings, keep Step One in mind...IMO that's the key to staying clean & sober.
Thanks for this!
