Try that when you keep going back to a smoky AA meeting where almost everyone else is chain smoking.


Honestly, I think you will be hard pressed to find an AA meeting that allows smoking in the room any more.

FWIW

In my experience, once one has broken the cycle of his or her addiction, a next logical step is attending Co-Dependent Anonymous meetings to help acquire skills needed to repair/maintain relationships.

It has worked for me.

I didnt know that. I live in GA and dont know of any here and the last smoking session I was in was in SC a few years ago and they were about to phase it out, I thought SC would be a last bastion.

I quit smoking two years after getting clean 6 years ago. Smoking was MUCH harder and I occasionally still miss a cigarette.

I would not go to a smoking meeting.
