I have the Big Book, the step book, and the little red book. AA isn't the only program I go to. I also go to SMART and WFS. WFS is more of a fit for me. But I get something out of all of them. I'm just kind of starting to do the steps for AA.
It is important to find a sponsor that has been in the program for awhile and has done the steps. If you do find someone make sure you sit down and talk to them about expectations. What they expect from you and what you expect from them. That way you are both on the same page and there are no surprises later on. There are things a sponsor can do for you and things they can't.
