Just went to my first DRA meeting. I found it helpful. How have others found those meetings?
Thanks for this!

I too found DRA helpful. There was a meeting locally once that I attended. I'm a bit sad that the meeting closed down as the nearest meeting is a bit of a drive, so I haven't been to a DRA meeting in a long wile.

The best thing I liked about DRA is that they recognize there are different ways to recover from a dual-diagnosis other than the DRA 12 steps. I always enjoyed sharing my experiences with CBT in the meetings.

When i went to rehab a year and half ago I found the DRA meetings very helpful to me. It really help me understand i have a mental illness and a drinking problem that the 2 combine needed to be dealt with together. I wish there was a meeting in my town i would go to it then AA.
Thanks for this!

Thanks, I have been going to DRA a month now and have found it very helpful. Not many of these groups around, though, I'm lucky to have one close by.
