I am sure people at your local meetings will welcome you back with welcome arms
But there are many other ways to recover too. It may be worth checking out AVRT and SMART recovery among others.
Glad you're here x
I'm curious about other kinds of meetings. I've been to a zillion AA meetings, but not to AVRT or SMART recovery. Also have inclined toward things like Buddhist meditation, but of course you don't get the specialized support that's really needed, I think. You guys are all great, I'm glad I found this group.
