Wow, meetings... I'm not even close to giving in to the drugs
I have never given into the drugs either but both alanon and open NA/AA meetings are a vital part of my recovery.. I have gained so many tools to help myself toward the growth that I want to achieve and I have learned so much about myself and have found out what true serenity feels like by going to meetings..
Think of it as free self help... it's much cheaper then going to a shrink and much more rewarding..
