I am a new AA member too. I was so shy and scared. I walked in sat all alone and some nice lady, who is my friend now came to me and took me under her wing. Remember everyone there walked in for their firsttime shy, scared, and worse. I think the shock of me walking into an AA meeting woke me up! I am 8 days sober thanks to AA. My problem now is I am too shy to ask someone to be my sponsor. I guess I should follow my own advice.
