It's a place you are among other alcoholics. Their stories may be different to a point, but they are also similar. I don't think you have to share anything the first time you go. It's on a first name basis only too. I used to attend ala-non meetings. Pretty much the same. Due to you aparently required to go because of a court order, you are probably feeling "forced" to go at this time, however, once you start going, you will be glad you did. The support you get from each other is pretty good. If you don't want to go by yourself the first time, maybe your friend who used to go would be willing to attend one with you? It's worth asking. Take care.

recovering alcoholics meet together to discuss their past experiences of drinking. basically the low points of their lives while drinking and the effects that alcoholism has had on their lives as well as their family members and friends. completely anonymous.
