Sober, Happy, Joyous and FREE.

My suggestions, based on my experience and long period of struggling:
+ Do a Web Search for Recovery Speaker messages. There are many, and most are free. I suggest especially focusing on Speaker Messages that target the Steps, and progress from Step 1 thru Step 12.
+ Get the book, Alcoholics Anonymous and read it repeatedly, including the intro section, The Doctor's Opinion.
+ Go to local AA meetings. Try a few, over and over, and get a feel of which meetings have people that Share the Solution. Especially ask the 'chair person' of the meeting, and check online, if there are any Book Study meetings.
+ Keep active on the Sober Recovery website.
