I think it's great you're going back to meetings.! I know it's going to be scary. But I'm sure you'll be welcomed with open arms!

Like Madisgram, I'm an "old-timer" with almost 19 years sober (in July) and I've seen too many people go back out for "further investigation" -- only to return to the tables destroyed. And like you said, it's not how much you drank or how often -- it's what it does to you! I drank LOTS at one time, and I was a totally different person when I drank -- very happy, but very mouthy too. LOL

You may not have your old friends, but after your first meeting, you'll have a bunch of NEW friends who will be with you on your new journey. I think you'll find it exciting! I wish you the very best and I hope you will keep us posted on how things go. God bless and please take care! Hugs, Lee
