i once dated a guy who was a big shot in the AA community where i live.  he had 17 yrs clean.  he was a snake and would troll the meetings looking for vulnerable  women.  it is because of him that the only meetings i would ever consider are all women meetings.  
it is good you are getting your support set up now.  like gnarly said you will always be welcome at the meetings.   if you fall get right up and going will help you learn how to be sober.  you will idolize their sobriety and want it for yourself.  
much better than doing nothing and struggling at home.

He Girl good for you it is a struggle for most of us at first it took me 33mo to get to 12mo clean today it is just a distant memory the thing is this...you may loss a battle or 2 but you only loos the war if you quit    fighting addiction is a b i t @# but we dont shoot our wounded im sure you herd this at the meetings   ''keep coming back''' if you contuse to try your going to make it you got to get to a point where your sick and tired of being sick and tired  is a great place to start  and as always the desire to get clean has to excide the desire to use try not to get discouraged your going to make it N/A was the only thing that worked for me get a sponcer and work the steps if you need encouragement just message me
