They are the most accepting people ever, as long as you're they're they are glad. Whether your high or not even.

At one point a condition of my probation was to go to 3 AA meetings a week for 2 months. I'm semi ashamed to say that I was under the influence at almost every one I attended. 
Really though, I have heard that AA and NA work for a lot of people. Those programs just aren't for me. Always hated going to them.

Celebrate Recovery is not NA. It's christian 12-step program, and they are extremely judgmental. They even have pamphlets on how to stop being gay.

I've been to both, at first for support. Then I realized non of these addicts have really recovered, they may not use drugs anymore, but all of the negative obsessive behaviours get focused on something else.
To me recovery isnt sitting in a room talking about past drug use and current troubles and living in fear about being around substances.
To me recovery is being able to be around substances and make the decision not to use.

I went to those meetings for a a couple months. My first one was funny. They start off with a mini worship service, which threw me off. (I thought that I was going to an NA meeting) I was dope sick, and hadn't slept for a couple days. When I went to the addictions meeting (they have meetings for all different things) everyone was talking about food, porn, looking at girls..... "It's the second look that's sin." - someone actually said that shit. When they got to me I said "I can't stop sticking needles in my arm." Everyone was like

It's funny that you say that. I was dope sick at the first meeting that I went to, and at pretty much every one after that I was on dope, or diluadid. Made it a lot easier to deal with. I feel like the meetings made me want to use more.
When I decided to clean up on my own it was much easier and more fulfilling. Don't get me wrong, it was extremely hard (which i'm sure you know) but it was much better than being preached to by religious zealots on high horses.

I was forced to by probation. Being forced to clean up rarely works in my experience. You've gotta want it.

Cocaine anonymous is by far the best of them. NA and AA are really stuck up IME. Unless your court papers mandate a sPecific meeting I'd say check out some other meetings. Of you gotta go, may as well make it as painless as possible
