Actually, the meetings (by themselves) aren't the answer. The path to sobriety in AA is through working the program, which are the 12 steps. The meetings just provide immense support from people who have been where you are.
And they don't require insurance coverage.
There is more than one to get sober. But don't exclude them before you tried them. Good luck.
