Just a suggestion...if you try a meeting and dont feel like you "click" dont give up on it...give it another try after a while. I was very turned off by the first meeting I attended. Folks were very unwelcoming...I went back to this group a few months later and it was a different bunch of people who were there, making it a different dynamic...and although still not the best feel for me, I do feel like it is worth attending weekly. I attend 2 per week now. If I had an oportunity to attend a new comers I would if only to get some idea of what to expect at the full meeting...I dudnt even know where to ait or have a book let alone know which one I would need! It was uncomfortable for a control freak like me!
Good Luck!!
