Bravery my first meeting I went an hour early and sat in the car (I think some can vouch for doing this as well) I watched and tried to get up enough courage to go in there! I was 5 minutes late-I went into the room and just the feeling when I walked in...I felt so at ease!
I have a counselor too-maybe that might be another option? That is more one on one and less of that shy feeling.
Keep posting here! This is great for you too!
