This is very early days indeed. As you realise from going to AA, there are two strands, the fellowship itself and the 12 steps. Both are vital in recovery, there are fellows who are dry drunk for decades but who suddenly take a sip and are off running with booze.
The hard part is the 12 steps, that is the true route to recovery. I really do get the dry drunk part. The fellowship is the aspect which will help you grow with the steps. I know because I work my steps. This is a vital part of your rebuilding your M, it may take you a long time but 12 steps can fit nicely with DB.
Please look at Sandi rules and adapt them for the program. Keep on going to AA as that is where consistent change will come in you. Concentrate on you, but where DB and 12 steps overlap is step 9. Recompense and putting everything back in order.
Other than the alcohol what is it that would most recompense to W. What did you list in step 4 that you needed to do.?
Have you chosen a sponsor and talked this through?
