It’s said that the first step of beating an addiction is admitting to yourself that your powerless over your addiction, and that your life has become unmanageable. Powerless – yes. Unmanageable = definitely. Over the last few days, a light bulb has come on in my head and I’ve had a significant change of heart regarding my addiction. That said, I’m looking to tap into a support network, and need some advice on how to get started, which meetings I can attend (I work in London), how do I get a sponsor, etc. Questions, so many questions. If anyone can provide any advice, I’d be very grateful. Thanks, Lemitca.

Well done in getting this far. For some it’s the hardest part. Get to 6 different SLAA meetings – there are different kinds, so pick ones that suits you – women’s meetings, meditation meetings, regular step/chair meetings, HOW meetings, lunchtime meetings, evening meetings. Do the rounds, and take phone numbers to ask questions & find a sponsor if you want. Then when you have done 6 meetings, decide if SLAA is for you. Simple.
All the best.
