What do you expect to get out of these meetings? I know personally that AA/NA never helped me. You sit around and listen to people tell stories about how they destroyed their lives and there's nothing of value being said because you already understand the experience. It's more of a group to vent to but if you're looking for actual help you're not going to find it there imo. I know the struggle and the only thing that worked for me was realizing that I'm the only one that can change my behavior, there's nothing outside myself that is going to make a lasting impact. I've been through it all AA/NA, IOP, RP, residential treatment and none of it helped. It wasn't until I really wanted to stop that I was able to. Been off the heroin for over 5 years and stopped drinking 3 years ago. You can do it you just need to believe you can.

It’s because you never put in the work. And it shows. Don’t spoil someone else’s chance to recover because you didn’t do anything for yourself. It’s a spiritual program of action, which I can tell you are not about being spiritual or doing any action. Commenting this on a post of someone asking for help. Shame on you. If you knew anything about real alcoholics, you can’t stop on your own. If you can you’re not a real alcoholic or drug addict. Just a moderate to heavy drinker.

YOU weren't able to stop on your own. I'm not going to sit here and argue over who had the "real" addiction that's just ignorant. It's so funny to me how the little cult members always come out of the woodwork to defend their little cult.
