How do you go to AA for the first time?

So I did not stay sober. Some of you know my story, but to sum it up I have been drinking for almost thirty years and to think I could just put the drink down without any 'real life' support was not realistic. My question, how do you walk into a meeting? Is it protocol (etiquette) to call ahead so they know you are coming or can you just show up? Also what about the awkwardness of being a stranger - do you introduce and explain why you are there? I really tried but I don't think this is something I can tackle on my own. I need to reach out to real people now but I don't know how to do this.

Thanks
