Hey there, Summerwind,
I have a slightly different spin on the whole A.A. discussion - while I believe in it whole-heartedly - I think there are a couple of key pieces that help to keep people sober.
These elements do not have to be done within the context of the meeting or even group. But its the Steps we take, that heal and offer a path to redemption. The only other thing that I am thinking of that's "A.A. but not" is to think about getting a sponsor. This is one person to whom you can go to, start to form a relationship with, that truly understands and listens with unconditional support. If there's any way you would consider getting a sponsor, that could be a big ticket item in your recovery.
Just pieces, the Whole can be intimidating. Baby steps.
Peace....
