I think you've got the right idea. Oh, and as for "demands", part of why a good sponsor shouldn't be demanding anything of you is that s/he shouldn't have to. S/he should be able to convince you that what is being asked of you is for the best to the point that you
want to do it for yourself.

Good for you! I think you'll find the vest majority of AA's to be very supportive. And don't be surprised if you find the whole room laughing out loud several times at just about every meeting. This surprised me - I expected a bunch of tears and self-pity, but it's very rarely like that at all. Most meetings are very uplifting.
Anyway, enjoy and keep coming back.
