Well, for me personally, the meetings got me sober, not the 12 steps (even though I eventually went through them). Though I was led to believe, and I could be wrong of course, that the big book wasn't written until later, after the meetings had already started?

I find the meetings way more relaxed (again maybe that's just over here), and big book bashers as a bit 'Taliban' imo. Though horses for courses, different strokes for different folks and all that of course
