I had Many reservations about doing this assignment. I initially felt I was inappropriate for me to attend a meeting‚ when I have never had a problem with addiction. I felt that going to this meeting would be intruding on their healing processes‚ almost as if I was using them as lab rats‚ to further my own education.

I was a little nervous attending one of these meetings because I didn’t know what to expect but only know from television shows and movies. What is the reality though?

I’ve always felt these meetings are for the weak people who do not have enough courage and desire to square up to their problems.
