I agree with purpleknight. People are not going to be closed-mouthed about everything.
I have a big issue with sharing personal stuff with anyone. AA meetings are no exception. If you go to AA meetings, people are going to want to know about you and there is no way to be closed-mouthed about things. If you are not a person who shares intimate details easily, AA is a painful process.
There is always counseling, or other spiritual practices or hobbies. I think just being part of the world and making friends works pretty well - especially if you have recently retired and feel at odds. What about volunteering at a free clinic or a homeless shelter? Getting out of your head is the main thing.
And not drinking.
