...welcome nightdriver...this board is mostly North America with a few chiming in from beyond. It's a good place to share beyond getting to a local meeting, but nothing beats live, personal interaction of attending live meetings,, and the day you get a sponsor, that's when the true alchemy begins!

..here's a link to NYC meetings... nycna.org/find-a-meeting/

...and here's your local helpline, not always answered directly,, but a good way to reach out as you find your first meeting..... Helpline: 212 929-6262

.....Any meeting is a 'good' one....there's always someone who says something of value. I've -never- left an NA meeting feeling worse than when I came in! Take that first step today!

Thank you mikah......I had some bad experiences with NA in NY...........People that are there for other reasons than staying clean. But I need some support and can't move. I'll try the links you gave me. And I'll let you and the older online members know what's up and how it's going for me. I'm trying to get into the OTR trucking business. A field where being sober is a must. And I really want and need to do it. The work mind you.

Welcome to the forum. Meetings are the foundation of Recovery in NA. Face to face meetings. Are there some sick people or people attending meetings for wrong reasons? Sure it happens. Hit different meetings, they are not optional to ongoing successful recovery in my opinion. Staying Clean and working a program of Recovery comes first, before a job, before family, before anything else or there is nothing else.
