Your typical AA meeting does not require you to admit you are alcoholic. When called upon, if you don't want to share, feel free to tell them that you are just there to listen. It would be nice to at least tell them your name, but not required either. It is a good opportunity to just sit and listen to others. Also, don't be afraid or discouraged if you don't like the people in the meeting, it took me trying about 10 different groups to find a few that I liked.

Above all, talk to an attorney (if you haven't already). I can't emphasize that enough. DUI laws differ from state to state so when someone says in this forum that they got a certain deal, it does not necessarily apply to you.

Get sober for yourself and get the attorney to deal with the legal ramifications of the DUI.

Thanks for posting and keep moving forward, sobriety gets better every day.
