NA Warrington, Ashley House

Posted By kellou

"NA Warrington, Ashley House"

About: Ashley House

(as the patient),

i went to an NA meeting in warrington for the 1st time (i live i widnes) the other night and i enjoyed the meeting until afterward and had an experience which lead to me feeling that the anonymous part of the group is a farce.

i stood outside smoking and talking to 2 people who said they run some kind of meeting within ashley house, they are ex users but in the 5 mins i spoke to them, i knew all about the affairs of a number of people. i heard some very personal and quite scanderless stuff about people who attend.

if this is what ashley house and NA have to offer then i will not be attending any more meetings.

the things that attracted me to NA to start with was the fact I did not think people would be like this
