Attending 90 AA meetings in 90 days is a common and appropriate goal for individuals newly discharged from inpatient alcohol treatment. It helps establish a routine and provides support from peers who understand the challenges of addiction and recovery. Option B is also a common practice, but it is more appropriate for established members of AA who have already found a sponsor. Option C may be advantageous if the family is supportive and committed to attending meetings, but it is not crucial for successful recovery. Option D is not a typical recommendation of AA, as the focus is on the spiritual and social aspects of recovery rather than medication management.
