Hi Sarah, Welcome!
You'll find lots of great support here.
If you don't know if AA is for you, there's one way to find out - try it
.
There are lots of great meetings in VA (I live across the river in MD). I'd suggest trying a couple meetings including a women-only meeting. I go to a men's meeting weekly and it seems like there is more honesty and openness there.
The aa-dc.org site has a meeting finder if you are in the DC area. If not, the main AA site will help you find the regional group in your area.
Those are just my suggestions but whatever you welcome and don't pick up that first drink! it gets easier.
