This is the first time I have joined an online support group and I'm looking for guidance on how to use this program and attend meetings. I'm scared, alone and lost and no longer want to be in the place I am. Thank you in advance for any advice given

Hi Raellen.
My name is Raman and I am an addict, staying clean and serene in the NA Program of recovery from addiction.
It is a universal and all inclusive program and has scope for every kind of drug addict. This program is based on the 12 Step Tradition, so that no addict seeking recovery has to die from the horrors of addiction.
An addict, any addict can get clean, lose the desire to use and find a new way to live, and that too within one's own culture !
I an addict, have been informed that I never have to use again, no matter what, just for today. And this Program has kept me clean and serene for nigh on 28 years.
Well, like the old timers told me
"There are no strangers in NA: only friends who have'nt met !".
I wish you all the best, in your recovery journey. God Bless you and yall keep coming back, no matter what.
Find NA meetings in your area, get close to the recoverers, associate with them as much as you can and you'll never have to use again !
Try it, it works !
