NA is getting depressing as fuck

[Obnoxious Bitch]

lots of people are either sick and dying or watching their kids become addicts or assaulting each other and/or lying about it to stroke their egos over bullshit drama

it makes me want to stop going. i need to keep going and i was hoping i could be an inspiration but to be quite frank i'm just much better than the rest of these people. i fell from a much higher place and didn't fall nearly as low.

The problem with NA like AA is that life (even several decades later) still revolves around substance abuse even if the member isn't actually using anything. If my life were to revolver around drugs, I would at least want some highs to show for it. No wonder NA sucks.

i can't argue with this...
though it's not so much the program that causes this as it is simply being an addict. even without the program i'm going to go through some shit everytime i hear about people getting fucked up, or my girlfriend wants to drink a beer, or i see people enjoying drugs in movies...

i don't have to let my addiction be a defining characteristic, but i still have to deal with it nearly every day. the chances of ever being an occasional/successful user of alcohol or pot for someone in my situation are incredibly small, way to small to risk it. i don't even miss real drugs at all, but i miss the hell out of pot and alcohol just because so many people use it. shit sucks, but i did this to myself.

It really sucks to several decades later still have your life centered around booze and/or drugs, especially when you are not even using. Drink up and smoke a bowl. Be a human again.
