Goldi,
Here is my favorite link about
What to Expect at Your First AA Meeting. Take a look, it will probably make you feel more comfortable about the idea of going.
I've been sober four and a half years in AA. When I went to my first meeting, the day after my last drink, I made a deal with myself. I committed to going to 90 meetings in 90 days. I decided that if I did not stay sober that my "Plan B" was rehab, to get a more concentrated dose. I never had to go to Plan B. I never picked up another drink.
And life keeps getting better...
