As long as you have some plan of recovery in place, that is what is important. AA actually helped my anxiety issues, though they may not have been as strong as yours. Just the security in knowing that whatever meeting I went to, the focus was the same, and I was always welcome, helped ease me tremendously. But like someone said, AA isn't for everybody, just have some strong plan in place to help the personality transition into sober living. If meetings are too much to you, maybe just pick up a Big Book and a Twelve and Twelve, once sobriety kicks in, the anxiety might lessen, it did for me. Good luck.
