Give it a try, it doesn't mean you have to commit to it. Just see if it works for you and if you find it helpful - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I really like AA and the meetings. As for who you see there - if you meet someone you know there is absolutely no shame in it. As, simply, they are there for the same reason as you! t have met people i knew from 'outside' within the rooms of AA, and they are always just happy to see you and supportive.
Stay strong and keep posting! I wish you well
