Really glad that you went to a meeting and that you liked it. I agree with Rayna about getting a sponsor, it's really helpful. If you're going to do AA, I can also recommend another book & workbook.. It's called a woman's guide to working the 12 steps. I forget the author, but I ordered it from hazeldon.org. I;m finding it really helpful. It sticks to the 12 step principles but has kind of a female slant to it, and suggests self soothing exercises that you can do while you're working through the steps. I've found the workbook to be especially helpful.

Take care.
