I want to know if anyone feels the same way about these groups as I do. I personally do not have an addiction problems but several of my loved ones do. For instance my sister is currently in rehab for the 14th time for a heroin addiction. When she's done rehab she has to go to NA I think 3 times a week (it will be part of her probation). What I never got is... Why the heck would you send a user to be with a group full of users. I've watched her go through this cycle so many times and I don't know how many more chances she's going to get. She comes home from rehab (which she always does so great in), goes to her NA meeting (like she's supposed to), meets another user and they relapse together. I thought you were supposed to disassociate yourself from tempting or triggering situation. Please can someone tell me if NA or AA works for anyone. Or do think it does more harm then good?

I appoligize if this offends anyone in anyway, I'm just afraid for my sister.
