Personally, I wouldn’t share the fact that I’m on Suboxone at any NA meeting. There’s a few reasons for this, #1—there are several people in the rooms who would consider me to not be clean and they would pitch a bitch everytime I shared. I just don’t need bullshit like that in my life, especially while in recovery. #2—I wouldn’t tell the people in NA if I was on Blood Pressure medication or on an anti-depressant or on any other medication, so why would I feel the need to tell them about Suboxone. Not that I was ashamed of it, not at all, it’s just none of their damn business what medications I take. #3—NA is full of recovering addicts, some of those recovering addicts are still using and the last thing in the world I would want is a fellow addict to know I have some kind of narcotic on me or with me or within easy reach. I would be afraid that some would eventually ask me for some or worse, go looking in my shit for some.
Good luck with your meetings Melijm, you’ll find some where the people really suck and some where the people are really great. Every group of people have a completely different dynamic, find one you like and go from there.
