Well you know, I've been avoiding meetings too. I'm being strongly encouraged by multiple sources here whom I DO trust and, oddly enough, seem to relate to, to attend. They all credit NA/ AA as a fundamental part of their recovery. Fellow loner-types, the whole lot of them. I hear that it works, and did go to a step-group meeting last Wednesday...good people there...before I left they asked, "Are you coming back?" and I said I would. But later coming up with so many reasons why not. And then finding many reasons why I should. Brain in overdrive. I'd do well to just commit and go. But I avoid committments. Such an addict. OK, I'll go.
