Congratulations on your sobriety :) May I ask you something? How has AA been for you? I've gone to NA meetings and they are a complete shit show. Just really, really toxic people and I don't want to be around them. I'm not interested in being a crab pulled into a bucket.
Was thinking of going to an AA meeting and just sitting and listening.

AA from my experience has been super friendly and accepting. YMMV. Try a couple of local meetings. No judgements or dogmatic approaches. Listening to others is a great way to learn about it.
