I would just pick one and go. Maybe one that is close to where you live.

I found one called SOS so I gave a shout out in the AA section and found it is likely to mean either Save Our Souls or Sober On Saturday.
I am probably going to pass because if it was the former I would probably be annoyed and maybe relapse.
On on hand, I say don't give them that much power. On the other hand, I know how you feel.

I am curious Stone what doesn't work with the steps? I am getting the impression that the steps is what AA is all about.

That is the only reason I am even considering going as the social aspect of it doesn't appeal to me at all. I was a bar drinker and I couldn't stand half the people I met at the bar drunk so I doubt if I would want to socialize with the same types of people sober.
You may find someone there with whom you can relate. They also might be able to give you a heads up about different meetings. But, if you just want to learn about the Steps, I think they have a book, lol...
