Big welcome to SR!
Its great that you are seeking help and answers with your drinking dilemma. I was anxious going into my first AA mtg and it helped me to arrange in advance to meet another woman before the meeting for a cup of tea and then walk in the meeting together.

It just so happened that I had some people around me who were AA's, because i had gone to some AlAnon mtgs with them, but you can call the local AA telephone number and ask for a woman member to speak to. Its our favorite thing to do; help another alcoholic to find sobriety.

Heck, if i were there, I'd go with you.

(Imagine all of us here at SR following behind you like the Verizon gang, backing you up!)

It'll get better and better with others to help you.

Good luck~
