The people at AA are mostly very nice, accomadating and supportive. I for one can tell you, you are worried for nothing.

I can't speak for all os meetings just the ones I attended. Anyone can speak and all can attend. What I found consistent and comforting was I was not alone or "the only one" in my situation, members were all very similar in that thier parents like my parents were enablers, co-dependents or rage-aholics. I got to admit that we are powerless over alcohol which was a relief for me because I was trying to be responsible for using. I made up a higher power like everyone else so I had guidance which is cool. It is also cool that you aren't allowed to quit for a long period of time which I stupidly intended and are taught to not stop for more than one day at a time because we would risk a relapse which is no biggie anyway because we are taught that alcoholism is an illness and relapsing just proves we are sick, powerless and human and I believe this to be undeniably true. Speakers also talk about their relapses and what values they learned from them which is also cool. We get taught that our sobriety through the 12 steps takes precedence over anything else in our lives or we risk being happy while sober which is fun and that we have our new family and friends to call whenever we don't feel well. The best is we can go every day even twice a day and we are welcomed each time and we can go for the rest of our lives which is a blessing because duh... That's how long we will need support. You will love it. Enjoy!
