Expect to be "understood" in a wonderful way. Be open-minded & non-judgemental. Don't feel pressured or nervous. You can be quiet if you want to just get the feel of it. I'm shy, so it was hard to me to open up to complete strangers. It's a lot different to have real people in front of you rather than a computer. In my opinion it is much more helpful to go to meetings in person.
I'm proud of you for going to your first face to face meeting! It is a step in the right direction!
