am kinda new to 12 steps av been to AA but they never covered the steps with me av never had a sponsor or anything like that
i am not so good at talking in front of lots of people I stopped going to AA because am too scared to talk i know i dont have to talk but i feel like there isn't any point to me going if am not going to say anything
when i do say something it dont makes much sense

So sorry it did not work out Lily.
I think that later tonight SR has a recovery meeting in the chat room. It s not AA or OA but I have attended before and it is a nice and supportive setting. Facilitator (I think it's Huntington these days) chose a recovery topic and people take turn sharing only if they want to
Here is the link

I can't attend because I ll be at work but I m sure they will be plenty of friendly screen names there.

The meetings will be useful even if you don't say anything, as long as you enter the room with an open mind and a willingness to learn. At meetings we get the most out of things by focussing on the similarities rather than the differences, and remembering that these people don't have any agenda - they're just sharing their own experience, strength and hope.
Re working the steps - when you are ready to explore them, its up to you to choose someone who seems to have what you want (i.e. the kind of recovery that you'd like for yourself - not their car or job or something). You then need to ask that someone to sponsor you. Once that's been set up, then they will then go through the steps with you.
