When I say "clean" I do not mean it in an NA sense. Its just a word that many use to describe a life that is free from dependence/use. It varies for lots of people. But basically, I feel as if I am living a life free of chemical dependence and addictive use/behavior. That is enough for me and is working for me.

I was actually thinking about going to a 12 step meeting today or tomorrow. I haven’t been to one in awhile.

I think you SHOULD go! I went to an NA meeting for the first time in a long time last week, and what I saw there convinced me that I definitely did not need that as a part of my life. I actually left the meeting feeling worse than when I walked in. It was rather depressing, IMO.

The fact that they tell you that you need to go to meetings for the rest of your life or you’ll relapse..that is one of the things that helped me make my decision. IMO (only my opinion), it makes it sound like a cult.
