I was going to check out a meeting tonight but I started getting anxiety and wondering if it might not be for me and if I wouldn't be able to relate with other people there. My grandfather was a functioning alcoholic but he passed in 2012 and is no longer with us. My father isn't an alcoholic but one of my therapists said addictive behavior could apply. He does have OCD. I should probably just go check it out but I'm starting to back out. Maybe I don't really understand it?

Edit: thanks for the support and encouragement, everyone! I was having a really hard time making myself go but it helped to even have people online encourage me to go. I went to my first meeting thinking I didn't belong but a lot of what other people said resonated with me so I shared that. One of the women pulled me aside after the meeting and said that the meetings for her are about dealing with relationships and life so that was good to hear. I'm still struggling a bit with going next week because I'm not used to it but everybody was so nice and one of them lives a few minutes from me and she seemed really sweet. They did tell me to stick it out for at least six meetings so that gives me a reason to go again.
