Hi Jenn, glad that you have come to that very important realization that was my turning point in my struggle with trying to stop and stay clean. I don't know if some groups do object if someone brings babies and small children along for the meeting there in Toronto. But here in India, we are very accomodative and caring in that aspect. We have a member here who cannot leave her little one home and so this little one is also a regular part of our daily NA meetings here. I don't think that disturbs the meeting at all. Of course, this small child does make noise sometimes, but in no way obstructing the progress of a meeting as much as we members ourselves do with our own crosstalk and mobile distractions. We call this a NA baby, and everyone at the meeting takes turn to take care of this little one if need be too. Anyways please try out the meeting locator on the WSO site to find information on Toronto NA meetings, and check them out. I'm sure you will find that there are NA members who are sane enough to not object to a small baby being in a meeting.

I have also experienced as a newcomer that there were many hindrances to make daily meetings as lack of proper transportation, no money, rains and thunderstorms, faraway meetings, other commitments at evenings, good match on TV that I want to watch, my loved one wants me at home and so on... But inspite of all these seemingly obstacles, whenever I expressed a honest desire to make these meetings no matter what, I found that my Higher Power always paved a way to fulfil my desires. Somehow, I always ended up making these meetings in miraculous ways everyday as if a Power greater than me as a whole was conspiring to fulfil my willingness to make meetings in mysterious ways.

Anyways, before I get lost in my wonder and amazement of the program, here is the link to check out meetings in Toronto Area...
