Good for you for recognizing you need support. A lot of people want the meetings, relationships, and support of a recovery group but may not be a good fit for AA. I won't repeat the criticisms, and it works for some folks. So check it out as the best thing about AA meetings is that they are everywhere all the time.

If you find it isn't a great fit, check out Smart Recovery. They use CBT principles in a supportive group setting without some of the negative aspects of AA. It's a huge benefit for people who don't click with 12 step programs. They also have a lot of online resources and meetings.
