I dont think I was ever hardcore. But I did the 90 in 90 thing when I was first sober, went to shitloads of meetings, gave my story countless times at speaker meetings, sponsored new drunks in the program, hell even worked in a treatment center for over a year. And a few of the real hardcore drunks I worked wuth are still sober years later. Thing that turned me off to AA really was the fact that I saw people with 10+ years sober going to the same meetings day after day and week after week talking about the same problems in life that they couldnt solve. Poooooooooooor poooooooooor me. If you can figure it out after all that time take a fucking drink
