Late night NA Meeting near Culver City CA? Hi. Just starting out..


confuse I cant ever seem to make it to a meeting during the day or by the time im ready to actually go, it's too late to find a meeting.  Any suggestions? (Other than the obvious pleasehmm ie; getting my self together and planning, yada yada).  That's why I need to go!

You need to go because your an addict.
the 'yada yada' stuff is your disease interfering with you hearing the message.
try this,
pick a meeting that you should be able to get to
offer to pick someone up and take them.
Knowing that someone is counting on you to get them to the meeting
may help get you there yourself.
It really comes down to priorities.
what are you doing that's more important than gettng to a meeting?

RE: yada yada / what an arrogant CHICK(en) i was a clucking like. good first post!


YOU ARE BOTH SO RIGHT!!! Thank you for pointing out the obvious, lol! I'm also grateful to be receptive to Avid's words and the inherent truth and practical advice imparted-- instead of just feeling criticized (god forbid), or rationalizing w other excuses and just not getting it (being ready) to accept the truth when someone else had told me the same thing almost 2 years ago. I really am at the beginning of this journey. Thank you.

We're resistant to helping ourselves I don't know why that is since most of us were literally drowning.

 

So I look at this like i'm drowning, theres a  life preserver right in your reach, there it is grab it and hold the hell on.

 

Something else to think about is all the times you may have been saved and maybe realized it but ignored the calling, and yes I believe some of us get called upon to do this because we have the right stuff.

You reaching out asking for help shows that your calling out, theres a certain personal responsibilty to that drowning person ( yourself) that you have and its to save it's life, you wouldn't let another human being drown would you? I didn't think so maybe not even your worst enemy...
