Meso - walking into the rooms can be tough in the beginning, but everyone in that room had to do it as well. They understand exactly how it feels. We support that kind of courage.
As for working or not working the steps, don't even worry about that right now. Just get into the good habit of getting to meetings on a regular basis and maybe try to get some phone numbers after meetings so you have some people to call. And trust me, they WANT you to call them. I love when a newcomer calls me. It helps me as much as it helps them.
