Excellent Hombre! I applaud you for your honesty.
It is pretty amazing how most folks (myself included) felt about AA before they gave it a try. Once you find a good group and start attending meetings on a regular basis, you realize that AA's are the winners in the battle against booze and addiction.
Try some different meetings and fellowships and don't forget to stick around after the meetings and talk with folks. I had no idea how to make sober friends before but now I have several very close personal friends that I met in the rooms.
Congratulations on your decision to get sober! Well Done!!
