I've decided I'm going to give AA a try, even though I'm an atheist. So, I'm on Step One. I can recognize that I'm powerless when it comes to alcohol and that it was making my life unmanageable (at least unmanageable enough to want to quit drinking). What's my next step? Do I need to find a sponsor (I've only been to one AA meeting) or can I do this step on my own? If the latter, are there exercises or questions I need to be asking myself? I posted this over in the Secular 12-step board, but I'm looking for a range of opinions as I'm new to this. I'm not yet going to try to tackle the God equation yet, just step 1. And I'm 14 days sober.

Also, somewhat unrelated, what does Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc. mean? I take it by its use here it does not refer to an actual day's time, but something else.

Thanks,

Clayton
