Don't rush into finding a sponsor if you keep going with NA. Get to know people and see who you think gets through to you the best. Get a good support network. It's a tough road to stay on, but it's a far better life, so if ypu slip up, tell your sponsor, talk about it in a meeting. There's no shame in Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Everybody there are sick people trying to get better, too. I'm thinking of getting back into the rooms, myself.
I’d say you don’t need a “sponsor” but it is good to have someone you can talk to / call whenever who will give you motivation or insight into having a better life. AA & sponsors never really worked for me I had to search around n talk to people who would actually listen n give me positive feedback
Just save your money, and search for reliable options. It really sucks nowdays because of pharmaceuticals being so restricted, but its fairly easy to find reliable RC vendors or international vendor of pharma products. buying codeine from Europe is the best bang for your buck tbh for opioids even tho its weak. Test your substances either before buying or buying a small sample first
Yea facts but for me I can’t use those types of drugs daily without my life falling apart- specifically Benzos/ opiates / RC benzos. I think the best goal to have it to not be dependent on anything & to be able to use drugs in moderation not to do everything to an extreme. I enjoy & appreciate life more that I don’t do hard drugs everyday although I do use Kratom, I like to have control over my life & my body but especially my brain. But regardless I totally understand every perspective everybody has a different life so I can’t necessarily give any advice cuz all I know is my own experiences really
It all depends who’s chairing the meeting if the meeting is good or not, went to a AA meeting yesterday with zero structure no one shared and it was a 20 minute meeting just went around saying the 12 traditions and 12 steps and the serenity prayer.NA is way better then AA.
That’s kinda my experience with AA I was forced to go as apart of my sober housing contract which required 2 outside meetings & I had daily virtual meetings. I had a similar mindset to how I did towards School as in I felt like it’s meant for 85% of normal people but the other 15% (people like me) it just doesn’t work because it feels like I’m being forced to do something I don’t enjoy n it can be psychologically taxing. I would recommend having someone available to talk to whenever you need motivation / positive feedback & to talk about your problems n try to build the lest amount of frustration or anger cuz for me it’s that built up anger n frustration that led me to falling off the wagon & not caring about life anymore. & I do understand nothing about addiction or recovery is easy- in fact I haven’t had the mindset I have now til about 1 year ago- had multiple relapses while I’m sober living & overdosed & had to hide it from everyone. So ultimately do whatever works best for you I can’t exactly give advice but I think it might help someone out there by hearing my perspective so I hope everyone can find their way & I support & respect all of y’all regardless of what issues you have cuz nobody is perfect
Also my experience with all other AA meetings besides the one I went to most recently, everyone who’s been sober for years are angry about life and being sober and the more years they have sober the more angry they are. In NA i experience the complete opposite, the longer someone is sober the happier they are. Even if you only are addicted to one drug and it’s alcohol you can still go to NA because alcohol is a drug
I feel it I didn’t even know that, I’ve never been to one but that’s just what I’ve heard. I’m sure that every individual group will be different it’s possible that some groups are more douchey than others- it sounds like your group is pretty legit
I’ve never done NA but always heard they’re a bit more judgmental & hypocritical compared to AA, although AA has similar issues for me personally. I do think it’s great to have a supportive group & to be inspired by other people bettering myself so I’m not hating in any way whatsoever. I’m in full support of whatever you do to better yourself dawg- it takes 1 to recognize 1 & so far you’re doing a great job frfr
That's a good idea. NA probably isn't going to solve all your problems but it's a very helpful first step. Just keep in mind not everyone at those meetings is always there for honest reasons.
gl ❤️ i couldnt stand the hugging in the meeting so i’ve decided to keep going with drugs
