My first step toward recovery was admitting to someone else, my ex-girlfriend at the time, that I had a problem. I next attended an AA meeting.
So yes, you should attend. But what has worked for me is being honest with myself and with others and reconnecting with them. I didn't go back after that first AA meeting.
However, what I DID do, was stay sober, and I've been sober for four months.
Find that group, AA, or a church group or a group of supportive human beings who can relate to you. This is what I've been doing, and it is working.
Keep at it. It's worth it.
Sober 4 months, by the grace of God
