Hi, I didn't use any method, just read SR and did some research online. I'm not saying it was a breeze, but it worked for me. In a way I'd like to go to the occasional meeting, but as an atheist it doesn't sit easily with me, even though Australia is a much more secular country than the US.
Everyone is different, but you sound like the sort of person who doesn't take absolute statements on faith, and I think you should feel confident in thoughtfully exploring your own way. Some people give up meetings out of over confidence; this isn't you though.
