I'm dual diagnosis myself.
AA was important to me - sort of - in the beginning. Or, maybe I should say that meetings were very important to me in the beginning.
I did 6 weeks of evening IOP - which was a huge help.
I think AA meetings - if the *right* AA meetings - can be just as helpful if IOP isn't available. The important(est) thing was to break the pattern. Have different things to do when I would have otherwise been swilling down some jet fuel.
It takes a while of any type meeting before things start to soak in. The addicted mind wants to tell you it's all hogwash.
Short version: don't judge by one meeting.
