Hi Trish
I don't know much about AA/NA, but I see nothing wrong in going for F2F support and solidarity, if thats what you want. Many people I know here, and also in the real world, do just that and very successfully...
There's other F2F alternatives too like SMART and LifeRing - any of those near you?
This is your journey - noone else can make your journey for you...
