You're absolutely right about that. I miss being in the presence of others that have experienced the pain caused from addiction. I haven't tried a Smart Recovery meeting, because most are zoom meetings unless I want drive for an hour. I downloaded a pretty cool app called The Phoenix, where I joined a group called All Pathways Recovery. Other than the administrators, it's all 12-step though. They ignore me and pretend I don't exist.....just as their program brain-washes them to do.
Thanks for reading and taking the time to reply.
