Welcome dan!
Yes, if you'd like to take the 12 Steps please reach out to AA and get a sponsor. It is possible to take them alone, not something I'd recommend though, and why try it yourself when there are plenty of qualified, sober, recovered individuals who'd be willing to help you along on your journey?
Also, if you don't have the Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous) please get a copy and start reading it, especially the first 164 pages. This will explain how the program works. Then read the recovery stories too.
I'll look forward to hearing more from you. Glad you're here.
