Just wondering...
Hi everyone,
I've been going to AA meetings for a while now (been sober 2 years) and really love the program. A friend who has been going with me for about 6 months wants to try NA and has asked me to go with her. Some of the old-timers in one of our AA groups have been a bit weird lately about people mentioning that they're addicts as well, so she wants to try something different and I don't really blame her. My question is, alcohol is definitely my drug of choice. I tried other stuff here and there but always went back to drinking. I consider myself an addict in the sense that I consider alcohol a drug, but alcoholic is the title I give myself. Should I introduce myself as an addict in NA meetings? Or just say alcoholic as I would in AA? Or something else? Should I avoid closed meetings? Is it seen as a negative for an alcoholic to go to NA? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
