Wow! Congratulations! AA actually helps me with my mental health, too. I tend to isolate & going to meetings gets me out of the house when I'm feeling particularly anxious. Being around some people I know (having gone to the same meetings for a while), gets me out of my own head sometimes. You know what works for you & I don't preach. I just know that the space between my ears can become a bad neighborhood if I let it.
