This is true. When I wanted to go this time I just could not do it. Last time I walked right in but this time I needed help.
I called and then they had a person call me back. They told me of a meeting in the area and came and picked me up and took me to it. I am so grateful to that person.
From then on I was okay to go to a meeting alone although I was scared that I did not know anyone but I soon talked with a couple people. Now almost two months later I know over a dozen people by name and not only am I happy to see them they are happy to see me
