This month I had my 2 year anniversary in CoDA! Got another GOLDEN COIN and felt pretty darn good. Our meeting has been steadily getting bigger with more regulars so maybe the word is getting out somehow (maybe via this podcast?!?).

I've been to one ACA meeting I really liked but my work schedule/being fucking exhausted hasn't let me go back to it since. I do plan on going back tho.

I get the fear around becoming "That 12 Step" person, who only talks about recovery and the next meeting (neither Chemda or Andrea are like this at all. btw). I wanted to hang out with some people from my meeting in a regular setting without needing to have gone to a meeting beforehand. Everyone got so anxious and caught up in the details (that is to say they were acting fucking goofy) that we ended up just going to 2 meetings and getting food in one day. I dunno if they're addicted to it but they seemed a bit too desperate for it

hooray for selfhelp
