I urge you to be very careful and respectful about any type of recovery meeting you attend - not just 12 steps. These are not intended to be hook up spots, or places to get your attention seeking needs met. 13th stepping is a real thing and goes both ways - for men and for women.

I think it's great that you are finding ways to limit your access to the phone and texting. Any time we can break our unhealthy habits and patterns is to be applauded. Recognize that it is not who is sending the text, it is the text/communication/notification itself that you crave.
