I went to my first NA meeting back in May and they welcomed me with open arms. The people are very supportive and the newcomer is the most important person at the meeting. I continue to go at least twice a week and its great. good support in those rooms
You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. If you don't want to share, then just listen. Know that you are not alone in your illness and the people are there for the same reason as you. You know you can't do this alone, and neither can they.
Take care, no worries

Way to go Nuttie!!! Proud of ya. That was the hardest part for me, going to that first meeting. You will find it easier the more you go to, which I recommend you do. You anxiety will be much less the next time. I now look forward to my meetings.
You're doing a good thing here and you should feel proud. Get to know some of the people and see about getting a sponsor. I found a guy who I liked and we had some things in common, turns out he worked in the same field and right down the street. Good luck to you and I will check back in tomorrow.
good evening,

A sponsor is someone who is there to help you in your recovery. They help you work your steps and are people that you call for help with everyday things. How do I deal with this now that I'm in recovery. I call mine almost everyday and I just talk about my life. He provides guidance on matters pertaining to recovery and advice on dealing with life on lifes terms. I call when I have a problem with the kiRAB, he listens. I call when I feel like using, he gives me an assignment; go to a meeting, write a grateful letter.......
They are simply mentors that have worked the steps and want to help the addict or alcoholic that still suffers. I would start by sharing in group about looking for a sponsor, see if someone approaches you after the meeting. Only get one that is the same sex, I think that's one of the rules.
Good luck to you
