Not sure I belong in the fellowship
I came to NA because I was smoking weed pretty much all day everyday. I have been attending meetings for a little over 3 months and have not smoked since 5 days before my first meeting.
However, I have had a drink on a few occasions - either birthday celebrations or when out for dinner with my partner (we don’t go out often).
I recently got a sponsor and told him this, he thanked me for being honest about it and told me he wants me to share this in my next meeting - which I will be doing.
I do not have an addiction to alcohol, this is not to say that it could never happen because I do not know what the future holds but I feel reluctant to give up something I do not have a problem with
This has led me to really think about whether i should continue to attend meetings as I do not have a desire to stop using alcohol and the one requirement of the fellowship is the desire to stop using all drugs including alcohol.
I know only I can really answer that question but would appreciate some perspective.
The person that recommended NA to me is 18 years clean in AA and advised me to be careful when using alcohol but if it’s not a problem I should just continue with the narcotic abstinence.
