Alot of people go to meeting and follow the twelve step program. I only want to post my own opinion about the program. I believe that having this support of many people is very helpful and could be a great tool to use when getting or trying to stay sober. The more people you have on your side the better, right? How many people that are there are actually clean though? How many are court stipulated and would rather be shooting up than in a meeting? I think that more people have found running partners than have actually gotten good information from a meeting.
I do believe that meetings were intended to help people meet other people in recovery, but somewhere along the line things went wrong. Some meetings are full of drug dealers, others are fashion shows, others are just people that are there because the court said so and others are like a singles dating service. Let me remind you that this is only my opinion and I would love to go to a legit meeting but they are few and far between. I do like the steps. but I believe you can do them on your own. If you have friends and family that can support you on your journey then I recommend that instead of NA meetings. Even if you wanted to email me dddorato@gmail.com I'd be more than happy to be that shoulder. May the higher power be with you and be strong my fellow addicts, it gets better.
