well done my friend, without doubt aa for me has turned my life around, i love the fellowship and i have been lucky enough to watch lots of other people come into aa and turn there lives around
very often people have such a bad idea of what aa is like there are a few types in aa that are more focused on everyone doing aa there way and do come across as cultish types but thankfully over here in the uk its not such a problem but they do give aa a bad name
all my message is for anyone is to pop along to an aa meeting and find out for yourself what aa is like
i dont go any futher than that as they are free to do there own thing in aa that way it makes sure i am not trying to get them to do it my way
so for me aa is the vital key and once there you can then learn about everything else ie the book, the sponsor, the program, etc
so good luck to you and well done
