    Visits to AA meetings I was quite apprehensive about going to a meeting‚ more so than I expected to be. I am not an alcoholic‚ and I was nervous about being invasive to those who are... I am involved in other support groups and I would feel violated if a student sat in one... especially if they participated in any way. I comforted myself with the fact that is acceptable to have visitors at open meetings... then I had to find open meetings. I was also worried about encountering really small
