I spent years going in and out of aa/na.. countless rehabs and detoxes. Finally kicked dope cold turkey in jail this time and never looked back. Was homeless when i got out so I went to a halfway house and got back on track. I go to AA now and try and live by the principles
Kicking dope cold turkey in jail, dam I don't miss that at all. That is by far the worst feeling anyone can experience. I was homeless for a while to. I tried to follow the meetings when I first got clean but I just hate all the group hugs and random men trying to give me a hug when they introduce themselves to me. It seems like a lot of meeting goers don't know how to shake hands. I do like the 12 steps though. Some of them really help you look at your addiction.
