Sierra, there is a lot more to it. Get the Alcoholics Anonymous "big book" (or read it online until you can get a copy) and begin reading at the very beginning through page 168, with a sponsor guiding you through it. There is "work" to do for each step.

My favorite step-study is one done by Joe and Charlie. The site I know where to find the recordings on is down right now but I'll keep checking back and find you a link. These two alcoholics really helped me understand the AA big book and how to use it as a tool.
