The pay went from 28k to 40k. It hadn't been raised in like 40 years.

I used to wake up and get drunk. The best time to drive drunk is early morning because no one would expect it. I don't drink anymore for obvious reasons.

YOU weren't able to stop on your own. I'm not going to sit here and argue over who had the "real" addiction that's just ignorant. It's so funny to me how the little cult members always come out of the woodwork to defend their little cult.

If it keeps you sober, then I'm happy for you. I was just pointing out that meetings can be a detriment to some people. I always see people automatically recommend AA/NA when someone is looking to get sober, and from experience, that's not always the best option. I also will admit that I don't know what the better option would be because it's a deeply personal journey. Whatever works for the individual is what's best. I was just offering a different perspective.

It's my opinion that those groups do more harm than good. Gives people false hope. Also, don't think it's healthy to be listening to others tell their war stories. If I'm trying to stop drinking or doing drugs, I don't need to hear the same stories I've experienced. I already understand the consequences. Those groups like to focus on the past instead of helping you build a future. If you're cool with going to meetings for the rest of your life, then more power to you, l personally don't want to be dependent on anything external from myself that isn't necessary.

It works for 5-10% of people long term.

What do you expect to get out of these meetings? I know personally that AA/NA never helped me. You sit around and listen to people tell stories about how they destroyed their lives and there's nothing of value being said because you already understand the experience. It's more of a group to vent to but if you're looking for actual help you're not going to find it there imo. I know the struggle and the only thing that worked for me was realizing that I'm the only one that can change my behavior, there's nothing outside myself that is going to make a lasting impact. I've been through it all AA/NA, IOP, RP, residential treatment and none of it helped. It wasn't until I really wanted to stop that I was able to. Been off the heroin for over 5 years and stopped drinking 3 years ago. You can do it you just need to believe you can.

I smoke concentrate and get ounces for 200 on the street. Cheapest I found in mass was 40/g before tax. It was way cheaper when I went out to Vegas but still not street level cheap. Hopefully we'll start to see west coast pricing over here as competition ramps up.
