One BIG word of advice, if the meeting you go to is not to your liking, try others.
AA meetings all have thier own personality, I will be the first to tell you that some AA meetings stink!!!! Now I was desperate when I first got sober, I want to a ton of meetings, most I found what I was looking for, but in a few I found nothing! BUT and a VERY BIG BUT, just because a certain meeting may not help me is not to say that the very same meeting may be exactly what some one else needs.
If the meeting you go to you do not find what you want go to others, you will find like I did a core group of meetings that fit the bill for you.
