Recovery From Alcoholism. I Go to More Meetings Than He Does. Is That Dangerous?

Question by NorthernCA/FL: Recovery from alcoholism. I go to more meetings than he does. Is that dangerous?
I have 18 months, he has three years. He was a drug addict as well (me, too–speed, but primary alcohol). In the beginning, we talked all the time about our program, our meetings, sponsors, Higher Power, etc. It has been five months that we have been seeing each other. He is also working nights, and going to school part time. I have noticed that he goes to a meeting a week, and is pretty cynical about the “sappy” people in AA, who “hide in the program.” I am one of the sappy ones…AA saved my life.

Some people don’t want to associate with people who have helped them through troubled times. It frightens them, because they remember how bad off they were. While you obtain strength and support from the program, he feels it is holding him back in some way–like it’s not letting him move on with his life.
If he isn’t drinking or hostile, let him be. If he begins to act hostile, he should seek professional counseling.
