Awww, Brian, I wish I could sweetie!
Just remember, a lot of others at the meeting have social anxiety as well and will welcome you with open arms!! I think most of us have fear of a lot of people looking at us because we are a new face. Funny story, went to a packed noon meeting and the leader actually called on people. Not common in my area, we usually raise hands. He called on me, I went absolute blank. BLANK!! There was an uncomfortable silence for about 20 seconds and finally i started rambling something off the top of my head. I felt like a real tool lol! I didn't want people to think I wasn't paying attention, cause I was. My point is, These people love you and accept you any way you come, they know how hard it is to walk through the door. They know your pain. I hope you find someone to take you. If not, and you go alone, I'll bet you meet someone you can go with the next time
