Im sittting outside, about to enter my first AA meeting
 

The meeting starts in about 10 minutes and I'm so scared of going in, but I know I'm going to...I can't keep putting this off. Please wish me luck, it's a beginners meeting, which I think will be great for me.

Good luck!

Beginners meetings are great. They usually have the first part of the meeting dedicated to people with less than a year. It's a good time to both share if you're feeling up to it or even just listen to newcomers who are in the same situation as you.

If you can muster it, definitely raise your hand if they ask if it's anyone's first AA meeting ever. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome you receive.

Luck

them doors will be the hardest ones ya ever gotta open.
it'll be allright. :You_Rock_

It's that first step through the door thats sometimes the most difficult. Let us know how it goes!!

i am exactly like you, except i have not had the courage to call the hotline again or go to a meeting. kudos on your courage, i wish i could muster enough to do the same

I hope it goes well for you.

Beginner's meetings are great. All meetings are. You will be fine and welcomed :) Pretend we are all there sitting around you.

I think this is your lucky day !!

All the best.
