"The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking," according to the AA "12 Traditions." But different groups interpret this differently in terms of how open they are to sharing about other addictions. In a city, you should be able to find an AA meeting where you feel comfortable.

You might also want to look into SMART meetings, which are available in a few areas. Also, "Celebrate Recovery" meetings are quite common now if you prefer a Christian approach.

I like my local NA meeting, and use NA literature for my recovery studies, although I mostly attend AA meetings. And my wife doesn't go to meetings at all and is just fine, although she did do ninety meetings in ninety days with me when we first quit drinking.
