Not making enough meetings 

CrazyMom is getting crazier, everybody! I have not been making enough meetings recently. I've been really busy and then when I do time I always have some (bad) excuse. I just need to remember that no matter how I feel going into a meeting, I ALWAYS feel better coming out of them. I've only been making a couple a week and I am not comfortable with that- I need to be making atleast 4 personally. How many meetings do you all go to a week?

Re: Not making enough meetings 

I know how you feel with this. When I start missing meetings I go crazy too. I stop calling my sponsor, i fall right back into old behaviors and eventually I start fantisizing about using drugs. I start going to meetings again and wah-lah- the magic is back!

I think every person has a certain number of meetings that they specifically need to make. Its different for everybody. I try to go to atleast 3 meetings a week now.

Not making enough meetings 

I know how you both feel too.  Between work and husband and kids...its hard to get to meetings.  I almost feel guilty sometimes....which is the beauty of social recovery networks on the internet!  I don't have to leave my house, I can write or share my feelings with you guys.....and I feel better.  A lot of times just reading your posts and knowing that you guys/gals understand makes me feel so much better.  I'm really looking forward to T4A's chat room and meeting corner!  That just might be my saving grace!
