HI AND WELCOME.
There are different types of AA groups so I’d suggest sitting in on those in your area. When I first came around I became very active in a open speaker group which went out and spoke at different groups meetings. That lasted 12-15 years and was a great experience. Presently I go to mostly discussion meetings and occasionally chair a meeting.
Most meetings can use coffee makers, greeters, clean up people, treasurers, literature attendees and other jobs needed to be done.
It’s a great way to get to know people in your area and a good way to see how things work in the background.
BE WELL

Tell them you are a lousy speller, too. Might as well get it over with.
