Get to a meeting. And then keep going. Go daily if you can. Make it a habit. You'll find that it gets easier and easier to just go. Also, call your sponsor every day, not just when you're in trouble, or worse, after you've used. The tools of AA are there for a reason. By getting into the habit of using them, the are there for when I really need them - before I take a drink or a drug.
Hang in there.
