"I felt like a raisin in a mayonnaise jar." - Jonathan W.
KEEP COMING BACKMy addiction had left me feeling less than human. I had stopped
caring about others. What was left of my life was nothing but a
pathetic existence. It was certainly a strange experience to hear
a group of people say, “Keep coming back”. I had never felt
unconditional love before. They didn’t care how much or how
little I had. I did not feel judged. It warmed my heart to feel
accepted. I was excited when I was able to say “keep coming back”
to a newcomer. I am a member when I say I am.

"Don't use, and go to meetings." - Dick B.
BRING THE BODY AND THE MIND WILL FOLLOWIt is amazing how the hardest things to do can have the simplest
solutions. I was in poor physical condition when I stopped using
drugs. My body was exhausted, and my mind was very tired. It was
literally all that I could do just to get to a meeting. Some
days, I do not think I listened to anything at all. I was hearing
people sharing, but my mind did not comprehend anything they
said. I cannot explain this, but when the meeting was over I felt
better. I went to meetings everyday, because they made me feel
better. My first participation started when I was asked to do a
reading. I then started opening the book and following as others
read. I came to, and woke up, simply by attending the meetings.
