Question by Eric: Official Narcotics Anonymous Groups and general AA questions?
I am required to attend NA or AA meetings as part of my Suboxone treatment and the program that I am in. AA meetings are almost endless, there are so many everywhere, though NA meetings around here are much harder to come by and a lot farther away to get to. Being a person who has an opiate addiction I feel out of place at AA meetings, especially when I introduce myself since I can’t truly say “Hello, my name is Eric and I’m an alcoholic.” I have heard that members get offended by people who attend who do not truly have an alcohol problem. Is this true and what should I say at that point in the meeting and one must say that they are an alcoholic? Also I was wondering if there are any official narcotics anonymous on-line groups or communities that I can join and take part with other members? Thanks for your help and any other information you can provide would be helpful!
I am 24 and live in Ohio for the one who asked. I do not mind saying I have a problem it is just not an alcohol problem. I must go to the meetings and get the paper signed in order to get my prescription, I just don’t want to have to lie when I am at a meeting. I respect everyone there and can indentify with what they are saying so should I just lie? I wouldn’t be asking if NA meetings were more common.
