The main thing is to keep going to meetings. I am approaching six months, and have a semi regular schedule of 4 to 5 meetings a week. The people of AA will be more than gracious, and will be very approachable. Just sit and listen. After the meetings, talk to people who's sharing piqued your interest. Get a feel of the program and it's core, the steps. Buy a Big Book and read it, especially the first 164 pages, it describes the program in it's entirety. Eventually, the sooner the better, find a meeting you really like and commit to it weekly, this will be your homegroup. When someone really clicks with you, ask them to sponsor you. He/she will be Yoda to your Luke Skywalker, Annie Sullivan to your Helen Keller, God to your Moses. Then you start stepwork with your sponsor. Like I said though, just keep going, even guys with 20 years sobriety state that regular attendance is the key to their sobriety.
