Describe how you work your program. How many meetings do you attend weekly? What is your sponsor like? How do you deal with your negative emotions that can be triggered in meetings?

I have social anxiety, so support groups can make me feel somewhat strange. Especially large ones, so I usually stick to smaller meetings, which tend to be more intimate imo. I also have 20-some years clean and sober and have been to literally thousands of 12 step meetings. Try talking to just 1 person before or after a meeting. As you gradually get to meet some people, you'll feel less awkward as time goes on. I promise, lots of people feel the same way as you.
