Dan,
At rehab, 3 of the outpatients in my group who had apprehensions about going to AA Meetings, came back to our group last night (after experiencing their first AA meeting on Tuesday) and were relieved to find it to be better then they thought.
2 of them made plans Monday Night to meet each other at one particular Meeting Place.
Going with someone else, helped each of them to make the commitment to be there.
Is there anyone you know who can join you? (Just a thought)
It's difficult to understand the connections, commonalities, etc. until you make that first meeting. Once you find it, you're hooked. It was for me anyway, I began to warm up right away, and felt I had just found my long lost family. Once you "break the ice" you'll be fine. Wishing you the best!
Sapling, excellent! I'm going to print that one!
