Im also going to my 1st na meeting tonight and Im a little bit worried too,I think Ill just go with the attitude of seeing if I think it can help me,we only have 3 meetings a week where I live in NZ,well it cant hurt me to see what its all about,this is a major change in my thinking and Im feeling very proud of myself for even considering it.
Impicky and Chad--
That's great you both worked up the courage to go -- I echo dsam in asking that you let us know what you thought.....it's a helluva ride! m.

IM and Chad;
It takes real courage to step outside of our comfort zones. Being nervous is normal! I hope that the meetings go well for you. They've been a Godsend for me. Keep an open mind, and open ears!
IM - you are on day 3 now...way to go!!! Hang in there. It does get better, because you get better, one day at a time.

Hi there - Congrats on getting yourself to a meeting!! Thats really great!
I know it took me three cancellations before i actually attended one. I think that one shouldnt expect anything from an NA meeting, go with an open mind and remember that even this isnt a quick fix, and the road to recovery is a long one. But i will guarantee you one things - there are people that know what you are going through, and will be able to relate, even when you think you are feeling alone!! You will also find and make new friends, friends that will also help you to stay clean. So well done, come and share with us your thoughts about your first meeting!!
Take Care
