Avery, I haven't been to an NA meeting, but I have been to quite a few AA meetings. That first one is always the hardest! But for me, getting the courage to walk through those doors and sit down was a most important step in my recovery because it was the first time I had really, truly admitted to myself that I had a problem. So, go! Even if you have to go by yourself, go! You will feel so much better.

I am not sure whether NA has this option, but in my local area there is a phone number you can call to reach out and you can meet a couple of AA'ers ahead of time and go to a meeting with them. I just went by myself because I was so fed up and ready for change.
