Meetings in Boone, NC

Meetings in Boone, NC
The meetings have been our source of life, coming out of the shadows of isolation.  Some of us resisted but we eventually learned that there was nothing to be afraid of.

We heard other people's stories and we realized that we weren't freaks of nature.  Rather, we struggled with a disease that was much more powerful that we were.

But we didn't find the meetings to be a place to whine in defeat.   There was no shame.

People were living the solution.  People whose lives were once out of control now had some measure of serenity and sobriety.  All were welcome no matter where they have been or how far down the scale they feel they have fallen.

There was laughter, camaraderie, and hope.  Those who wandered through the doors awash with the pain, regret, and confusion of habitual acting out began to find success.  Over time, they realized they were worthwhile human beings and had something to give to others.

There are no fees or dues.  SLAA meets 6-7 on Monday night in Downtown Boone, NC.  E-mail or call for directions.
