There's an AA meeting by me and the group is called "A Bunch of Drunks" haha!
Just like countrygirl said, it's just like going to the bar only without booze. I've talked to plenty of strangers when I was wasted and told them things I would never even tell my friends, so why not in AA, where no one is going to judge you and everyone has been through the same thing if not worse?
When I finally went to a meeting and said it out loud in front of people, it was such a weight lifted off my shoulders. It was definitely worth the fear and anxiety leading up to it.
