Absolutely....an AA or NA mtg. would be GREAT!!! I am also a recovering alcoholic. I have been going to AA mtgs. for over 17 yrs. I haven't had a drink, but I did get hooked on vicodin 3 yrs. ago. Yes, I substituted one drug for another. I have been clean for 5 months. I like AA better than NA......just my personal preference. The meetings teach you how to deal w/ life on lifes terms. As others have said, shop around until you find a meeting you like.
I haven't had cravings for alcohol in yrs., but i still get cravings for the pills. Going to a meeting gives you a place to talk about it and get support. It also gives you a chance to make friends w/ sober, clean people. It does get better. Just hang in there!!!
I'm also glad to see you are feeling better today. I'll be hoping that you and your son walk into the exact right meeting and find comfort there! Know this, you are not alone. We are all here with you.
Hugs,
Emily
your little "doctors" are awesome. that was so cute. sounds like you have a lot of good stuff on your plate. good luck to you.
You can try both. Where I live there are not really a lot of N.A meetings so there are many people that go to A.A for pills. We are all addicts no matter what our drug of choice may be, drugs or alcohol. So you go to whichever you feel more comfortable. There are so many meetings, so if you don't like one, don't give up. Just keep meeting shopping until you find the one that is perfect for you!
Yeah I'm going to try them but do I go to NA or AA? also I'm going to have to try to drag my son
I am so glad you are feeling better today..I agree with Korley.what do you have to lose by going to a meeting..I have been told to go as well and go to all different ones until you find one your comfortable with..the worst thing that can happen is you don't like them..but you could gain so much..xo Lisa
