Question for you guys! I see alot of you talking about NA and the meetings. I was gonna look for more day to day support later after I am well and not so sick. How long did you all wait before going in there? Cannot imagine walkin in looking and feeling like I do or did. Hands are not shaky as hell anymore and a few other good things going on but still  kinda sick feel a lil icky but i am sure that is on its way out too. I'm pretty certain you all did not go in there still praying to the porcelain god which lasted the first 2-3.5 days for me. Boy I am glad I shook that off. Well anyway thanks for the input. Would really like to know how you all did it.

I haven't gone to an NA mtg yet...I go to AA mtgs. as I'm a recovering alcoholic as well and have been going to those for 17 yrs......

but if you want to stay clean...i think its a good start...whats an hr. out of your day, when you count up all the time you spent chasing, scoring, doing, counting your pills or DOC.....

If you don't like the first one you go to...check out another one...you will eventually find one you feel comfie at!

i went when i was barely 24 hours clean. i was scared to walk in as i had just come off a 3 day coke binge and looked like death. so as the meeting starts they are handing the cards out for us to read, well, i start reading and i'm sweating and sick as hell, then i realize this card is 2 pages long and im out of breath pouring sweat, so i  stopped and just said the serenity prayer and the whole room starts laughing. from there it all went good. definately check out an N/A meeting, they are great support and it's normal to be scared to go, but make sure your well enough first. good luck

I went on day 6 and your right it was too early.  Magi almost passed out.  We were not up to it physically.  I would just wait until you feel a little better.  It doesn't help if all you are thinking about is not crapping your pants. lol   Feel better bud.
