BeachyBoy, Please don't give up there are so many meetings. I also go to Cocaine Anonymous meetings (2 a week). AA or CA, they both follow the 12 Steps & 12 Traditions, and The Big Book. Many of us go to both meetings. Ciggies?? They aren't allowed (nor the e-cigs or the vapes) in the actual meetings. YES, the f-bombs are everywhere. I go to meetings for me, my sobriety. I just have had to do my best to look past the cussing. As the months went by, and I attended some picnics & such I began to get to know people in 'real' life. I continue to go to events, and now enjoy getting to know people in a different, non-meeting way. But, it's not for everyone I know. Bobbi
