Someone told me once your never late for an aa meeting, your always right on time. I'm shy by nature. It felt like everyone was always watching me, I sat in meetings so terrified that I would have to speak that I wouldn't hear what was being said. The steps can get you through all that.
If you don't want to read, just say, hi I'm x I'm an alcoholic, I'm just going to listen tonight thanks.
no one cares, most the people there have felt exactly how you do.
i promise it gets better, I now enjoy sharing in meetings, even though my voice is still shaky half the time, I actually look forward to it.

I'm proud of you for working through your fears, from someone who know's who what your going through.
