AA isn't for for me

So I've been 17 months sober strong about to come up on the big 18 months on the 21st of March. When I was 30 days sober I've been going to meetings 2 times a week after my 1 year sober hit mark now mind you I didn't do any of the 12 steps. When I was a 1 year sober my father got me a nice 1 year coin and I showed it to the guys at the meeting they asked who's your sponsor I told them my dad gave it to me and I didn't have a sponsor.. they said I can't have that you need a sponsor in order to get a coin......that's when I knew AA meeting where a joke. Yes it may help other people but for me that was a slap in the face. I'll keep going sober strong as I put it.
