Welcome Hellonurse,

Congrats on your 1 week clean.

I don't know how to go about doing this as i really want the support of actual meetings as well as the wonderful opportunities this site seems to hold. any ideas?
As a member of NA who has benefitted from the same simple suggestions that have been passed down from member to member, sponsor to sponsee...I offer you this:

1] A meeting a day for 90 days is a good idea.
2] Get an NA Basic Text (and read it).
3] Join a home group.
4] Get a sponsor.
5] Work the Steps.
6] Get involved in service.
7] Dont use no matter what & keep coming back.

The NA forum here at SR is a great place to interact with other recovering members of NA, but to get the most out of what NA has to offer, it is best to attend face-2-face meetings and to get a sponsor to guide you through the steps. The 12 steps are the program and the program is the solution. IMO, at one week clean your main focus should be staying clean. Do yourself a favor and go to meetings and get a sponsor. Your sponsor will then assist you in understanding and application of the principles of the program.

Easy does it & First things First...
