I've started going this last couple of weeks and I'm finding the meetings invaluable. I didn't think AA would be for me but thought, oh well, nothing to lose in being open minded. If it's not for me I can walk away and not lose anything. As it's working out I've met some really cool people and I'm also an isolator, I have social anxiety disorder. If I can get to meetings anyone can. I can honestly say that since my first meeting I've felt accepted for who I am, that's huge for me. If you give it a go you might find it's helpful. Mixing with people that have been sober for a long time 15+ years helps me realise it's possible and as was mentioned in tonights meeting they need us too, to remind them of what it's like at the beginning. It's a win win from what I can see.
Good luck whatever method you choose and congrats on your decision :0)
