Next time you go to a meeting, get there 20 minutes early and stay 20 minutes late. Let people know you're new to the program and see if anyone wants to go out for coffee or ice cream or whatever. Meetings are great but don't exist on the fringe of AA. Ask about sponsors and get to work on the steps. I tried just going to meetings for a while. I'd get there a couple of minutes before the meeting (or late) and be out the door once the meeting was over. Half measures didn't avail me half results. They availed me diddly squat. Make some sobriety sister friends and find someone who has what you want and ask her to be your sponsor or, if she's not sponsoring, ask who her sponsor is. You've got a vast pool of new friends at AA. Make the leap and make some connections. You will be welcomed.
