hi - just got the courage to go to my first meeting on 8/1. it was a beginners meeting, and a small group of really great people. i was even late - but everyone welcomed me , i couldnt even look up, i felt so embarrassed, but every single person there went through the same thing when they first came, somebody said the tried to attend 4 times and drove by, another person said he looked in the window and just couldnt bring himself to come in a few times... everyone there is struggling with their addiction and the problems it has caused them/ It will help you move forward just do it - u will feel so much better and get alot of support. you dont have to say a word. I just sit and listen- it is helpful, especially since withdraw has left my brain foggy.
