Glad you are hear and congrats on your pregnancy.

You will be accepted and supported, not judged here and at NA meetings. My suggestion:

Go to lots of NA meeting (90 meetings in 90 days is recommended for newcomers).

Find an NA meeting that you like to go to on a regular basis and feel a part of. (Also known as a home group).

Find someone you can talk to and who can help you work the steps (Also known as a sponsor).

Get some phone numbers of other recovering addicts and hang out with them outside of meetings.

Don't hang out with your old using buddies. They will just get your stoned or drunk again.

Don't use no matter what.

awesome. i'm scared to go in person. do they have meetings here on the forum ? i will have to check out things locally.

I was scared to go in person too, but things turned out great. You will find people in the rooms of NA who accept you and understand and can support you. Online forums and chat rooms are helpful but they are not the same as person-to-person meetings.

Hi Mockingjay! I'm Allie- Have you found a meeting in your area yet? We are all the same; here, there....Courage is about being afraid to do something but doing it anyway. We all have fears but as soon as we face them they die. :)You have nothing to be ashamed of.

Keep us posted.
