Welcome newme2day and congrats on 5 days. I know how rough those first days can be!
I have a little over 6 months sober and I owe that all to the tools I was given in the rooms of AA. Just like GracieLou said, all you need is willingness and you will get all the guidance you need. As far as being in a small town, I live in a medium sized town but I grew up here. So at 43, I generally run into people wherever I go. I did meet some people in AA I knew from my childhood, teens and years ago, but like someone else said they were there for the same reason I was. I know some people will go to the next city to attend meetings and that makes them more comfortable.
I wish you much success on your journey!
