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,

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!!!

Yes I really need to go to meetings my husband didn't want me to go he still dosen't want me to go because he says that is a good place to find drugs and stuff he dosen't even know cause thanks God he dosen't have any problems with drugs or alcohool but I guess some of his friends have gone to AA and that is what they say
That is too bad ur husband feels that way about NA/AA...wonderful places to get support .. i go to a ladies group every monday and no one there would dare share drugs, drinks or anything else...it is a peaceful...wholesome group...it is an AA group but it helps me and i fit there...Now I have been to some mixed groups for NA and the men can be a bit crude...now i am deep down south as well...i found the meeting that was right for me...i wish u luck but i would take charge of my recovery if it were me...it is u that has to fight this battle to stay clean...look for a ladies group even if it is AA...good luck and keep posting
Thank you I will find a place TODAY and go because I think it will be very helpful for me and my son
I have heard about finding drugs at NA mtgs., but I havent' heard that about AA mtgs. Just remember...today you have the choice to "SAY NO TO DRUGS"!!! lol
