What Can I Expect on My First NA Meeting?

Question by New Beginning: What can I expect on my first NA Meeting?
Serious answers only please.
I have come to grips that I need to seek help for my drug addiction. I am scared to go to my first meeting and I would really appreciate any information on what I can expect when I walk through that door. Will I have to talk to people or can I just observe? Can I talk when I am ready or do I have to talk to the group? I’m very nervous,….if you can’t tell.

Best answer:
