Welcome Max- you are in the right place, but as pointed out, this not the only place you should feel welcome.
One thing that I found valuable about AA was that there were many different types of meetings. Some meetings (generally the larger ones) are harder for a newcomer to feel comfortable - mainly due to the size - until you know a few more people. The smaller ones made me feel more comfortable to meet others like me - and I found this extremely helpful in my early days. If you call your local AA hotline and explain that you want to attend some smaller meetings, they can give you advice on some good meetings to attend. Often times a Big Book study meeting works well, but it varies by area. Also, if you have a bad experience at one meeting, just go to another one until you find one that you like.
You are worth it, so don't give up.
