Great choices, man!

Don't be nervous, there's really no reason, you're gonna love it at the meeting! It'll be like coming home. Everyone there will be totally cool, we love newcomers.

And if for some reason you DON'T like that particular meeting, find another.

I recommend going to SPEAKER or NEWCOMER meetings for a while at first. Don't go to a Big Book or Step Study or that kinda thing. Those will be really boring to someone new.

All you gotta do is sit down, introduce yourself when they ask for newcomers to do so, and the rest of the time, just LISTEN. Don't think too much, just listen. That's all you gotta do. The rest will come to you if you just do those things, and keep coming back.
