And what are your plans for the future use of drugs?

Hey Leon,
I quickly read the link. It's just another way of linking to people in recovery. You need to find what works best for your to stay clean. It seems that, that link is connected to people who don't connect at AA/NA meeting or so they think and this is some sort of alternative. I love my NA meetings and choose to stick with other addicts. That forum may not have the same traditions my meetings have. I didn't go into that kind of detail. Keep writing and getting advice here though. I would like to get to know you better.

Looking for alternative.
I'm in NA right now. Its all have I at the moment. Left my Kaiser CDRP group. I like being in a sober community, but dont feel like the na/aa structure is exactly for me. But really like meeting with other people and just talking. So I'm seeing what other alternatives are out there. Keeping an open mind.

Theres nothing rational about recovery ..... just kidding.
Is that the one that was denounced by one of it's proponents/founders after they crossed the centerline while under the influence and wound up being charged with vehicular manslaughter?

My reply would be if it sounds interesting and it will help your recovery process; JUST GO FOR IT!!!! Everybody does what they need to do to help them stay clean and serene. I for one stick with NA. It is working for me. Every program as long as their goal is to help addicts whereever they are coming from should work. Just reach out to it and see what happens; let me know how it worked for you? I in the mean time get perfect joy from the members of NA. Keep coming back! What is your story? Like to get to know about you?

SMART uses a lot of the same stuff,but without the hysterical ranting about the evils of 12 step movements.

About 15 years ago, before I found real sobriety in CA & AA, I used to occasionally attend RR meetings (it was both curiosity and a rebound thing with some 12-step meetings where I was having a tough time swallowing the reality that I was the problem).
I recall it being novel & provocative at first, but godless and ultimately ineffective. I don't remember the 12-step slamming but I didn't care much for sitting there watching video tapes. One premise was that you eventually get "cured", therefore end the temporary RR "treatment" and then grow new legs and go back to drinking (using) like a gentleman......yeah right!!
There's no way I could or would recommend RR. I tried every imaginable remedy, but it was the mighty 12-steps that kept me clean & sober and saved my life. AA (and it's progeny) is the most powerful program for change ever invented (or inspired).

When I
was new in on line recovery...sober for 3/4 years...
I first heard of RR on another site.
They dashed in and out of Chat there and never stayed to explain their program.
I asked and asked...'What is RR?"
Eventually a a chat regular hollered at me..
"Repellant Ravings"
