Hi, all. I'm an addict. Alcohol, cocaine, pot. It's been years since I've touched alcohol and cocaine, but I smoke pot a lot. I quit alcohol and cocaine with the help of family, although they didn't know it at the time. I haven't been to rehab or participated in any support group programs like AA. Lately, I've been smoking a lot of pot and I need to stop. I'm thinking about going to a meeting, but I'm not sure where to start. There aren't too many MA (marijuana users anonymous) meetings in this area. Thinking about attending an AA meeting. Not sure about NA. Any thoughts?

NA would be my bet. But AA would be better than nothing.

Happy for you that you want to take the next step of taking action.
 Most AA groups are open to all addictions. Find a meeting, go, introduce yourself. You might not be comfortable at first, or you might need to try out many different groups before you find your "fit". Whatever your addiction, it is so much easier to overcome it with the help of others. I wish you the very best!

I'd say try both NA and AA meetings until you find the one that meets your needs and feels like a good fit.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
