Desires for recovery, desires for stopping drug abuse does not equate with living a recovered life. Having said that though, yeah, simply having desire is enough to qualify attending the meeting.
We work the steps to begin actual recovery, maintain recovery, live a recovered life. Attending meetings and working the steps are different actions of responsibility in living a recovered life. Having a desire to be clean is the starting awareness of the journey, and its enough to have a seat and participate in the NA (same for AA) meeting to see what its all about and how you connect with that experience.
