good for you, this program is a total journey. My best suggestion is to seek out big book meetings and find a step guide / sponsor to take you through the steps out of the big book, the way the first 100 people did. This will guarantee you will have the best shot of having solid sobriety, and then you’ll have something to give back to people that need it, once you get through the steps.
IMO anything else is half assed. The true program tends to get watered down with meetings where people are sharing about their day, or using meetings as therapy. If you go through all 12 steps you’re promised a new way of thinking and a new life. Best of luck!
