So, as the title states, I just went to my first ever NA meeting. It was... strange. Strange to not have to feel like I'm hiding a huge part of my life and strange to be around people who have all had such positive experiences with recovery. I have chronic pain and that's why I started using, so my instances of recovery and nonuse have never been all that positive and I have a physical as well as mental drive to use.
I guess I just feel like I need to talk about it. I feel like everyone there was very positive about the NA program and it seemed to really be the thing that has kept them sober. I sort of feel like a fraud, though, because I don't feel ready to absolutely quit right now. I don't know. I think I will keep going once or twice a week and see what happens.
Do you have experience with NA? How has it been for you?
