AA has helped me. My suggestion would be to keep an open mind, there are all kinds of meetings and you just have to find your niche. There are other options though so if AA isn't for you that isn't an end-all.
It's taken me sometime to accept the disease and want to stay sober as well. Its a journey. Just keep coming back. There are all kinds of people out there who are in the same boat and want just what you want, a sober and happy life.
