Why Attending AA & NA Meetings in Baltimore Can Help Your Recovery
Once you are done with an addiction treatment program and you are adjusting back into life in New York City, it’s imperative that you begin to focus on developing your own system of support. There are several ways that you can do this. First and foremost, you should begin to develop a health routine that incorporates different forms of meditation and exercise. One of the things that many people with addiction struggle with is the fact that they feel as though their minds and thoughts are always racing. Putting together a routine that includes physical activity and time just to be quiet and peaceful can go a long way in helping you to maintain your sobriety.

Another excellent recommendation is to locate narcotics anonymous and alcohol anonymous meetings throughout the New York City area that you can attend on a regular basis. Taking this step will help to reinforce the important lessons that you learned when you were in alcohol rehab or drug rehab.
You will likely notice that an AA or an NA meeting follows the model of the group therapy sessions that you experienced when you were at Legacy. These meetings are essential to your recovery because they will help you connect with people in your home area that can provide you with invaluable support as you adjust back home. In turn, you never know when you will be able to provide another person with the support that they need if they are going through a difficult time.

Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings in NYC
Similar to a narcotic anonymous meeting, there are dozens of locations around New York City that offers alcoholics anonymous meetings. There are some that even offer this type of meeting multiple times a week to see to the needs of those that are working toward overcoming an addiction to alcohol. Here are some suggestions of meetings that you can attend during the week:
Holy Name Church
Many people that are new to their recovery or have to go to work during the day prefer to go attend a meeting early in the morning. This is the beauty of the First Things First meeting which takes place at the Holy Name Church on the Upper West Side of New York City. This is an open meeting which means that anyone can attend it. People that come to this meeting can expect a combination of discussion regarding certain topics related to addiction as well as the reading of certain AA literature.

St. Anthony of Padua Church
Often times, Friday nights can be particularly challenging for a person that is still trying to adjust to a new, sober lifestyle. The doors to the Soho meeting located at St. Anthony of Padua Church open at 6:10pm every Friday night. This is an open meeting and is known for being particularly beneficial for people that are adjusting into attending meetings. The meeting takes place in the church basement which is large so the meeting size does tend to grow. Do you have a furry friend that gives you comfort?
