Attn: AAers and NAers -Getting the lowdown

Well, it has become plain as day to me that I need outside support for my problem. I realize, and actually look forward (!!) to going to a meeting. My hesitation lies in the rumors that AA does not really welcome substance abuse addicts. Apparently, there's some kind of prejudice against them being in the group? And two - AA has a better recovery rate than NA. There are way more AA groups in my town to choose from too. I have heard that NA is full of people who are court ordered to attend, so it's not really a positive energy group kind of thing.

I am NOT looking for excuses to not go. I am looking for ANY way to go. I just want to feel welcomed. The thought of rejection scares me as much as relapse. Where would a nice little ol' pill popping housewife feel safest going?

All you AAers, would you turn your back on me?
