It is. The meetings in my experience are helpful in making us feel less isolated, providing fellowship and a safe place to voice our concerns as well as a group of peers that can provide is with support, Advice and suggestions as well as remind us of the materials, rltoops and truths that are often unique to and by applicable to us addicts. Amongst other things bit these are the major, priceless and irreplaceable benefits in my experience at least.

Yes it is just how bad do you want sobriety that's the goal
That's a question only you can answer. Many or even most people would answer based on themselves. That's great for another person.
You have to make your own path. AA definitely works. It's proven to be effective.
I chose another path and it worked for me.
Do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. If it's 90 meetings or none. Speak or stay silent.
You've got this. There is support all around you.

I can't, personally. I've tried everything else over the past 13 years and nothing but the 12 steps and meetings work for me. Everyone is different.

I’ve never been to a meeting and I’ve been sober for almost 5 years. It’s definitely possible! Just make sure you have someone to talk to 🫶🏻
Hello Benjamin, in my own opinion, it is possible. But our attitudes change our behaviors change. And experience watching people not go to meetings, they do eventually pick back up some come back and some die.
