going to N/A meeting

[gizzy32]

i went to N/A meetings back in the fall for 3 weeks, but then relapsed and felt so stupid and guilty i never returned. well tomorrow will be my 3 months clean and i feel the need to go. this may sound stupid, but i want that 3 month keychain so bad, it's almost like a trophy to me. i think im more afraid to go tomorrow then i was the first time, but i can't let fear hold me back.

anyone that has been to N/A can maybe answer this.  i only got my welcome keychain and stayed clean for only 11 days (although at the time that was my record) will they give out the other keychains with the 3 month one, such as 1 month and 2 months. i really want them, i don't know why, but i do.

Good job on Three Months!  That's often a real turning point, for the better, in Recovery.  

It's good that you're going back to NA.  I hope you consider getting a Sponsor.  A lot of people (including me) owe their Recovery to a good Sponsor.

I go only to AA meetings these days, but I went to a NA a fair amount for the first six months.  I went back NA on my first year just to get that glow-in-the-dark Keytag.  I have it hanging from the switch of the lamp beside my bed.  I almost always read before I go to sleep.  So, when I'm ready to sleep and I turn out that light, that keytag is glowing for all it's worth.  

It reminds me to be grateful and to say thank you.  Plus, I just like seeing it there in the dark . . . the last thing I see before I go to sleep.

Congratulations.  Three months really is a big deal.

If you been clean 1 mo.2mo and 3 month then stand up each time and get your tags if not then I"m with IBKleen,,,,,I"ll send you mine,,,in fact I"ll send you all three,,,good job

I'm sure they'll give you a welcome chip (the white one) plus the green and the red if you ask - keep up the good work!

Don't be afraid hun...go and get what you need (recovery).

Every meeting is different and every chair person has different rules, but I don't see why they would not give it to you. And if they don't, do not get discouraged.

I will make you a deal....if you go and continue to go, hell..I will give you mine!!!

Let us know how you make out....

That is so awesome that Christian got right back in there and has been to a mtg. everyday...shows his determination to stay clean.. clap clap  yea!!!

Giz, I know that you are nervous to go, but, I also know that once you get there you will feel great.  And you deserve the keychains, you have worked so hard.  Three months is amazing!  Relish in your accomplishment!  Big Hug to you little bro!
Lizzy, SO HAPPY to hear that Christian went back out to a meeting.  That took a lot of courage for him.  You must be so very happy!

i am so happy to hear you son is going now after what he had to deal with that first night. that's a hell of a sign he really wants to do this, so be proud and keep the faith in him, i know you have and it must be hard.  i think medhelp should give out some trophies to all of us, haha. everyone deserves something here.

[LIZZIE LOU]

hey gizzy...

i can totally understand you wanting these "trophies"...you have worked hard to get to where you are in your recovery...you need these as a reminder of where you have come from and where you are going.

christian has done a meeting every night since that night he was turned away.  

i am proud of the both of you :)

now you go and get those keychains, damnit!

If you ask someone they might give them to you...i don't think they will automatically give you all 3.(I know we give them in AA if someone asks)

anyway...great job on staying clean!!!!
What an inspiration to all those reading on here!!
