LILTEX41 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 That is so awesome!! I'm upset because the meetings here are on hiatus for awhile. I really miss the one I used to go in Houston. Have you gone to a lot of meetings? Have you found them helpful? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerokewl Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Early on i went quite a bit. I found it useful definitely more my speed then NA. I haven't been in a few months, because the room was so focused on alcohol which isn't my issue I haven't gone that often. QA is my primary support. But that video got me thinking I should go back for a few meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDTRFB Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I go to smart meetings twice a week, right now. I just started to get more involved on the volunteer side of things, and will be training to be a facilitator. I used to got to back in 09 in NYC, but I just didn't find a good facilitator or group that I liked back then. I also could have tried going to meetings on different days, but I just wasn't that motivated at the time. With that being said, I still got a lot out of Using the tools and the workbook on my own. CBT really works for me and Smart is so empowering. The 12 step world is just not my thing, and believe me I tried many different meetings, read the big book, did my 90 in 90, had a sponsor, worked the steps...but in the end, the disease model and that culture, did more harm than good for me.... If it works for you...keep going back. If it doesn't, please know that there are many ways to find recovery that do not include an HP or 12 steps) Not hating...just educating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
