Internet meetings simply can't touch F2F meetings.

In some areas, you can ask for someone to go with you,k like pick you up and who will stay with you for the meeting. (If driving is a big problem) When I first got sober, I was too sick to drive - shakes, nausea... oh yeah. I was a real treat.

The hardest meeting is the first one.

The most important meeting is the first one.

I've never attended a meeting that anyone was 'forced' to talk, or even introduce themselves if they didn't want to.
I've been to meetings that the person simply said the word 'pass' and the group moved on to the next person. It was accepted and that was that.

One word.
Not THAT big a deal.

I hope you'll choose to find out.
