"Work your own program" Step 12 is part of my program, folks!
Jane explained her situation in detail to me, and wanted my response. She went into much more detail than what I wrote in my original post, which in turn fueled my response to her. I'm not going to go into those details, but she sounded like a good candidate for NA, so that is why I told her what I did!
I understand some meetings are very open to addicts, but my area is pretty cut and dry. There are cross-addicted people, of course, but in AA they identify as alcoholic and they share about alcoholism. There is not a lot of talk about drugs in the meetings where I live. You'll hear it more in speaker meetings, but even then the speaker most times will say something about drugs being apart of the story, but they're focusing the talk on alcoholism.
I have also been to a few NA meetings. Occasionally we do get visitors from NA in AA--one guy goes mostly to NA, but also identifies as alcoholic, and shares at AA meetings. I have gotten something out of his shares, no doubt.
