I Need Help With My Drug Addiction, but Have a Problem With 12 Step Groups!!!?
Question by Kim T: I need help with my drug addiction, but have a problem with 12 step groups!!!?
I have been using drugs for years. I was clean for almost a year and was going to meetings but had a hard time believing everything they preached, such as you have to go for the rest of your life, don’t think, don’t ask questions, and if you don’t believe in a higher power you are basically doomed. Any suggestions out there as to an alternative to AA and NA. I really want help…

Hear true stories from actual recovering Clearview High School addicts – Save-A-Friend is a community action group with a mission to help families in our community affected by drug addiction. There are many families in our community suffering in shame and silence. We provide not only a monthly support group, but also bring together resources to help prevent drug abuse. Save A Friend Live Your Life Free is our logo. Our tee-shirt campaign has been an affective tool to help the kids not using drugs to make a statement to their peers. We funded this through our generous business community and are continuing to raise funds to spread this to all the area schools and make this a County wide program. Rowan Center for Addiction Studies and Partnership for a Drug Free New Jersey provide our educational materials, which are available at each support group meeting. We will on occasion have speakers who deal with addiction come and educate and share their experiences. Please join us to support, encourage and make a difference in the lives of our children and community. Parents and Students are encouraged to come. We are based in Harrison Township, we hope to create a county wide program. No Clearview administration is present at our meetings. For more information please e-mail Charlotte at [email protected].
