I went to one already, and I'm going back but this time it's without the people that I went to the first one.... and I'm nervous!!!! I used my addiction as a way to si, then it became an addiction. With PC I feel safe in saying, for the first time, I'm an addict. There I said it, it's out, and I'm vulnerable! Sharing something that is difficult is not easy, It's taken a lot to get me to say that, now I hope that the first meeting will go well. I'm scared that I may see someone that I know, but ready to say, I'm an addict, without disclosing anything more. So anxious to be done with this addiction but I have taken steps to get there.

What I want to know is that I'm not alone, that others were/still are scared to go to a meeting for the first time?

puzzclar, I am really proud of you for taking these steps. It is a life changing decision to get help and deal with the things that have been holding you back from having a better and healthy life. Of course it is scary but way to go. Kudos to you!

For many of us the journey and recovery brings many new and powerful emotions. Anxiety is the begining is very common. After your first solo meeting, it will get so much better!

Best of luck and keep posting!

I was terrified to go to my first meeting. I made a friend escort me there.
