Question for recovering alcoholics who put in years of sobriety.. did u get sober without having to do 12 steps ?

I can’t seam to stop and I think I have willpower at sometimes but I always end up drinking now .. to the point I’m to jail for it .. this is like my fourth time now.. I got locked up twice already this year .. was the 12 steps helpful at all any?

Yes. I tried AA many years ago and it just didn't work. The people were too self-righteous cult-like. Then about 8 to10 years ago I decided to quit on my own and stopped cold one day. I just told myself "You will not walk into a liquor store again"... and I haven't.
