Grudgingly going to a meeting

I have some questions. I have some issues..(duh).
I have been attending AA since July of 2004, and though I really respect the principals AA tries to teach to us, I feel as though I am kind of 'not getting it' anymore, as if I am stuck. I hold no ill feelings towards AA, because I have gotten so much from the 12 steps, and some of the people, but I just feel like it isn't 'for me'. I guess I need some advice here on what to do; what other options do I have? I have been to NA, but those are the only recovery programs I know of...12 steps. I took the steps and worked them as thoroughly as I could. I was going to as many meetings as possible and calling people each day. It's almost as if I got burned out and now am unable to relight that fire.
I have seen some posts about other forms of recovery and I guess I would just like some input before I lose my mind. I am tired of fretting over it and too scared to tell the friends I have in AA who seem to think there is no other way.
Thanks.
