Day 3 and First AA Meeting

Well, today is day 3 of sobriety. I have spent most of the last 3 days huddled in bed, crying and generally feeling terrible. I know that in order to be successful at sobriety I need to surround myself with people who have successfully embraced sobriety, and that means attending an AA meeting. But I feel so terrified and anxious (I should mention that I have some social anxiety issues as a result of my drinking and the isolation that accompanied it). Just thinking about walking through those doors makes my heart rate speed up. I feel so vulnerable and raw right now, and I am just really frightened about attending my first meeting. I have no idea what to expect, and I could really use some encouragement and hand holding right now.
