Sewyellow,
You didn't break a rule of AA when you drank.
The rules of AA are the Twelve Traditions, that make it possible for the fellowship and all the steps of the programme to be there for you and me.
Take things (in life) nice and slow like Jenny says. Once (not my first time in AA) I made 45 meetings in 50 days and it felt really good. The variety of meetings and members was particularly beneficial as well as the frequency. Hence intensiveness and extensiveness all at the same time.
