what kind of meetings are you looking for?
you might have a lot of choices: most people have a general(though often mistaken) idea of what AA is for and about, but many have never heard of LifeRing, SMART, Women for Sobriety.
in any case, getting connected with others, both in real life and in cyberspace, has been hugely helpful to me.
your physical stuff sounds concerning....can you go get that checked out?
