Hi Lonewolf04 , well done for contacting AA and starting your recovery journey .
I remember my first call to AA , I was fearful embarrassed but the female on the phone made me feel comfortable and arranged a meeting to attend . On the night of the meeting which was a lovely summer night I was sober 3 0r 4 days but very nervous . The hall was next to a big park and I walked round there for 1/2 and hour then plucked up the courage to go in . There were around 15 people both men women all ages and every single one of them shook my hand or hugged me , I never felt so welcomed at anything .
