Hi Myeco,
Personally, I have found this site to be more helpful than AA so far in my brand new soberness.
I am spending a lot of time on this forum. For me the key to getting sober has been putting a lot of time and effort into it.
But I think different things work for different people. There is a Big Book Online that you can read if you don't want to buy the book. I have found that helpful, too.
Glad you are here!
