In my home group - and any other group I have ever gone to, the only time we talk about clean date/clean time is when there's a celebration. It doesn't bug me - I find it hugely inspiring and I'm so happy that people have found recovery. I think if one does not want to give oneself 100% to the program (and it works if you work it!
) then of course there are thousands of excuses not to get into it. kept me sober and happy. there are other recovery programs, but check yoru motives first - is the intention to wrangle out of sobriety or is it to actually find a program that fits and WORK it - work being the operative word.
Remembering, in early sobriety, often our thoughts are quite muddled and we project/experience things in the negative which might be quite positive - i.e. leading a drug user to NA...that's not rejecting them at all. No one I know who uses drugs doesn't use NA as well as AA or just NA.
