Question by NorthernCA/FL: Recovery from alcoholism. I go to more meetings than he does. Is that dangerous?
I have 18 months, he has three years. He was a drug addict as well (me, too–speed, but primary alcohol). In the beginning, we talked all the time about our program, our meetings, sponsors, Higher Power, etc. It has been five months that we have been seeing each other. He is also working nights, and going to school part time. I have noticed that he goes to a meeting a week, and is pretty cynical about the “sappy” people in AA, who “hide in the program.” I am one of the sappy ones…AA saved my life.

Best answer:
Answer by Jason H I don’t know any ravers, real or fake. Raves must be extremely exclusive and underground, because I’ve never even heard about one, and I’ve been friends with some pretty hard-core users. I mean, I know they exist.. I’ve just never heard of one.
