Suggestion. Find meetings that are BB study meetings or step study meetings. These will be focused on the solution, the steps, rather than on the problem (drinking) and the vents and drunkalogues you speak of.
Work the steps.
AA is not about a bunch of people sharing stories of how f'd up they were.
Not all meetings are focused on the solution. There are discussion meetings that are NOT just sharing war stories, but really are good discussion, and speaker meetings with messages worth hearing.
Don't give up on AA until you've gotten a taste of what the program is really about. Then, if it's not "taking", try another recovery program that may be better suited to you.
