NA works if you work it. It's highly suggested you give yourself a break and hit 90 meetings in 90 days. Put your recovery first and the rest will follow.

relapse is a part of many stories in na. there are many people who now have years of clean time who have a drawer full of white key tags keep coming back is my sponsors favorite expression. It really does work.
Welcome PJAMMY , NA works if you work it as hard as you worked chasing drugs . I had to put all into recovery each and everyday to have got 7 years plus clean.Those using for 39 years took a lot of life out of me .I'm glad I found NA and great people like here at MIP.
Welcome, glad you are here with us, together WE CAN!

Welcome back. I have also been out in the cold at times but whenever i came back, NA was there for me. I applaud you for coming back! I know from first hand experience that it isn't easy.
Welcome home. March 25th... that was my clean date until I stopped working the program, stopped going to meetings, and decided that alcohol wasn't a drug. I only took the suggestions that I wanted to take, I didn't get a sponsor, I didn't work the steps, I didn't call anybody (ever). I found excuse after excuse to stop going to meetings completely... I didn't do a damn thing except for drink, thinking that if "alcohol never lead me to drugs before, why would lead me to drugs now?". Drinking alone got bad for me, and it did lead me to use- right back to hell. I say this to say... hang onto that clean date, hang on tight- life only gets better in NA, and life only gets worse when we use. Keep coming, dont use **no matter what**, you are worth it! :)
HELP!
