Narcotics Anonymous

Well I went to my first meeting last night and I hated it. I fealt like I didn't belong there at all. Everybody seemed like their DOC was the meth and I'm just a snobby pothead.

These people were true addicts that acted like they couldn't function at all while fucked up, which is believeable. Meth is some bad shit. They would let all their responsibilities just fall to the side and nothing mattered but getting fucked up their next time. And ofcourse they all seemed like they had alot to say about how they overcame their addiction one instance at a time. One lady said she was getting sued and was flipping out, but knew if she didn't come meet that day she would get fucked up trying to cope.

That place really seems to help these guys. They depend on it. While it's nice to know that these programs really help people, I just don't see how I would be able to utilize it. My life is the best it's ever been. I smoke a lil weed everyonce in a while, but I have higher priorities that I keep. I think that's partly why every aspect of my life is the best I've ever had it. I just don't see myself being able to become active or even a part of the discussions. Am I supposed to get up and say my addiction hasn't affected my financial, social, or personal life outside of meeting the requirements of probation? Go on about how great everything is? It just seems like if I did that It would be a slap in the face to the people it really does help.

I'll just do my 24 meetings, attend and shutup. I'm honostly blown away by how addiction really grabs hold of people. These guys are bottomed out and each day is a struggle.

I'm not sure if I really expect any type of replies, but that was my experience so far. Any advice, thoughts, psycho analysis... or whatever is welcome.

I hate meth and the people that do it. They wouldn't stop hugging me.

Why did you enroll in the first place? Part of sentencing?

It's part of a S.O.P. program (Supportive Outpatient Program) The probation officer gave me a piece of paper that said 18 classes 3 individual classes and no NA meetings. The paper was outdated and come to find out, I have 24 classes 6 individuals and 24 NA classes. As soon as I finish I get off probation.

I got probation for a racing charge and the S.O.P. for failing a U.A.

It's a class where they talk mostly about the dangers of alcohol and how to handle your social life and yourself.

They tell you how to handle relationships so you don't end up using drugs as a coping mechanism along with exposing the many dangers of drugs. And don't forget all the misinformation.

Basicly they try to teach you not to do drugs.

Yeah, it is pretty easy to tell the people who are ADDICTS from the people who are just drug users. Keep in mind though that those people at one point thought they were in control. There are bad meetings and good meetings. One thing about the AA/NA programs is that they are very open and free-form and each meeting is shaped by the people who attend it. Check out different meetings if you can; I've been to some fucking chill ones.

I had to go to some NA meetings myself when I got arrested for pot in my dorm room (thanks roomy). I did what you said. I listened. I took the chance to talk about a few problems with mental addiction perhaps. I added whatever I could when I could. I knew I wasn't there for the exact same reasons most of them were and I didn't pretend like I was. But I respected them. I partook when I could. They're all insanely nice people who are so happy to be there. Try to take in the love they share so easily.

I went to NA for a while (mandatory) and it wasn't really that bad. Made some new hookups, also heard some amazing stories.

I dont care much for the whole steps program, or the concept behind NA / AA in general. I can see it works for people, but I think it has more to do with group support than anything else.
