What do you do?

I'm 2 months sober and I have connected with AA since that's all there is here (I live in France) and I really like having someone to talk to. Here I'm just a loner alcoholic and I have to get out of my head.

The problem is that I don't care for going to meetings all the time. I don't want to rely on them for my sobriety and I certainly don't want to spend the rest of my life going to meetings in fear of "slipping" if I quit. I just don't know what else to do. I've looked into several alternatives but I would lose any human contact if I quit AA.

Now my big thing is that I don't know what to do with the alternatives when I'm having a buggy day or week like I am now. Help with a suggestion, please! I need it tonight (or I'll just run to a meeting like I've been taught).
