AA works for many, not for many others.
I went to AA a few years ago.The people were lovely and did understand. I'm a very private person though and I did not like the whole getting involved with so many new people all at once. Whilst they were well intentioned it's just not me. I also found it difficult with people talking about their drinking all the time/war stories etc. I tried it for a few weeks but it wasn't for me.
I've been sober 18 months now using SR, AVRT and women for Sobriety. I would highly recommend all of these. I'm in the UK so WFS meetings are non existent but if you are in the US I believe they are more accesible.
I would say, different things work for different people. try everything and see what works for you
