Meetings Are Life-Savers

One woman said she was sober, but she had stopped going to AA because she did not enjoy the meetings. Isn't it ludicrous to reject a life-saving treatment because you do not enjoy it? The woman had to realize she had an addictive disease -- potentially fatal if untreated. The proper treatment includes AA, and the meetings are effective. Later the woman said once she saw the meetings as a treatment for her disease, she began enjoying them. There is nothing wrong with enjoying an AA or NA meeting, but we must be aware that these meetings are necessary to arrest the otherwise inexorable process of addiction.
