Where do I fit in now?
Where do I fit in now?
Hi! I'm an alcoholic & have been around SR for a few months now. In my past history of drinking--there may have been only a few occasions where I also did "outside issues"--usually after drinking for a long time. However, this past Halloween, I relapsed on both alcohol & drugs. The difference now is that I am constantly craving the "drug" I did the other night & not so much the alcohol. My question is--Have I "crossed over" that line (as my AA group would say) & should I start going to NA even though this is the first time in my life that I have that same "phenomenon of craving for the drugs" like I used to feel for alcohol. Please someone help me!
My name is Vic and I am an addict. It probably best if I don't give you advice, however in Narcotics Anonymous alcohol is a drug. A drug is a drug is a drug. I know all about the cravings even though I haven't had any for awhile. I go to basically NA. I love it there, I feel welcomed. However if I need a meeting I would go to any 12 step program.
Our problem is with the disease of addiction! The behaviors that we have, compulsive, obsessive behavior. The other day I bought a bag of candy that was on sale, before I even got home I had eaten a half a bag, talk about obsessive . I hope that you find what you are looking for.
With Love and Respect

even though im recoverying from heroin addiction, im in AA because when i read the docters opinion it states when alcoholics drink they have an alergic reaction that triggers a phenomon of craving. i didnt get drunk (primarily used heroin, pot, and any form of opiates) but im still alcoholic because when i drink i MUST get drugs. it is impossible for me to drink safely.
so i got an AA sponser, work the AA program, and read out of the Big Book and 12+12. NA, AA, and CA are very similar and i think its just whatever the individual feels most comfortable with. here in chicago they are all intertwined at this point.
