If that is what you are really looking for is to go to some meetings... Meet some people who have been there and are attempting to head in the same direction you are... Every AA meeting is somewhat different, go to several different groups until you find one that feels right for you, might take several different meetings and may have to go to each one more than once to get a real feel for the group... GO and Listen even if you cannot talk..

AA has some basic steps that work for almost everyone who is willing to follow them... Having said that you will find that there are more than one way to take the steps and more than one order to take them in.... The basic plan is laid out for you to follow if you so choose...

I had my last drink on March 24th 1984 at 5:10 PM I have lived without alcohol in my life one day at a time for 31 years now ,I go to meetings whenever I feel a need to reconnect with my purpose, sometimes often sometimes not so often...AA works and works well for the majority of people who are ready for AA..
