"14. Meetings: Meetings (whether in real life or online) are where we share our experience, strength and hope with each other to better understand our common problem and work together towards the solution. Even if you feel you'll die if you don't act out or your mind doesn't want you to get better, you need to "bring the body" to a meeting. Even when something is "more important" or more exciting or more fun, get to a meeting. Very subtly your value system will get healed. We failed to do it alone, but we can do it together. You can listen to others tell of what it was like, what happened to them and what it is like now. You listen for the similarities and discard the differences. In these meetings you learn valuable information about your disease and how the 12-step program works. Members give and receive support, work the steps, and share experience, strength and hope in a safe environment. At first, attend as many meetings as you can. If possible, attend meetings daily for the first 90 days and practice abstinence to the best of your ability. The slogan "90 meetings in 90 days" is a sure-fire way to learn the true meaning of "First Things First." Making a meeting every day no matter what is a foolproof way to discipline deep habits of "giving in" and self-indulgence — habits so deep they seem our true selves rather than the voice of our illness."
