I've been going. I am really on the shy side when meeting new people, but I've been trying to within the program, going outside your comfort zone can be beneficial. Anyway, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY felt like drinking tonight. I decided to hit up a meeting. I saw some members from my home group there, and they invited me to go out and get something to eat after. I had a great time. Not only hearing messages that I needed to hear at the meeting, but hanging out with some sober AAs after, chatting and hanging out. It helped me to not drink tonight.
I would recommend it. Like others above said, it would be support for you. It's worth a shot a least. Even if you saw someone you knew there, chances are, they are there for the same problem. And if they've been going to AA for a while, they could help open the door to the program for you, show you some groups they go to, introduce you to people, etc. That was my experience as that ended up happening to me.
