    Yes that is obviously true but the process of sitting around a circle with people i dont know listening to their problems and getting coins as rewards for behavior dont work for me.

    Im also not the one to tell a room full of strangers my business & feelings.

    The whole process dont work for me.

    Would rather kick it dolo & test myself

    Just tryn to be healthier this year & save money ove wasted on liqour. No health insurance (havent been to doctor since i was in elementary school) got 2 lil boys. Time to straighten up myself.

    Dont need meetings to recognize something i already know

    I am very similar to you. Im sure you can pull it off, but in case you don't and it becomes a serious problem give some meetings another chance. I went to multiple na meetings and none of them worked for me. Soon as I got out of them I just wanted to get high. Ended up getting professional help and on some medication and have been doing much much better. Part of the program I'm in I have to attend 3 meetings a week. I searched and searched and searched but finally found one that I'm comfortable with and enjoy. I keep to myself a lot and hate talking to strangers I don't know, especially about something as personal as addiction, but believe me if you get to the point and actually start to share and participate, for some reason it helps tremendously. I been a little over a month clean which is the longest I've been clean in over 6 years. I still smoke weed, but I don't smoke all that much and mostly i smoke before I go to bed. If you can't do it alone give the meetings an honest chance. You might have to look through tens or hundreds of meetings, but there WILL be one that is right for you. I hate the faith/religion based meetings though. Good luck buddy you got this.

    After these meetings i always needed a drink, i have been clean of alcohol and drugs for 6 months one time but i can only do it dolo. Listening to some desperate houswifes or some old bums doesn't help me at all..
