I am not in AA, but I am reading a lot including a lot about AA and the steps. This site helps too of course. I'm reading blogs. I'm going to church a lot. I'm taking a class on prayer and spending time meditating. Basically, even though I am not attending an AA meeting, I think through other means I still am getting a lot of advice, support, encouragement and information from others. I know I would not be where I am without those who are so willing to write, blog and share their experiences so I could learn from them.
