thanks in advance

yes it is a 12 step group for pill addicts seeking recovery, carol. pills anonymous has active face to face meetings in about 8 states. come on over and join us and you can then access the meeting calendar to see if one is near you.

and...

if there isn't, we would be more than happy to provide you with the material you would need to start a PA meeting.

you will need a msn passport to be able to join the site. if you don't have a msn passport, click on the "join now" link at the site and msn will prompt you with what to do. if you're still confused, you can write to me at dsam2u@comcast.net and i will send you an invitation to join.

thanks for asking

hello dhooks -

prescriptions anonymous was started by a gal named cindy mogul. she also has written a book on the recovery from prescription drug addiction. although i haven't read her book, i hear it is very good.

here's a link to her site, which would explain what prescriptions anonymous is much better than i can:

http://www.prescriptionanonymous.org/

pills anonymous has been around for quite some time (20+ years). although there is no central organization for pills anonymous, the meetings have been started in various states by pill addicts who want to carry the message of 12 step recovery to the still suffering. a great fellowship of pill addicts has evolved both face to face and online. the program is modeled after the steps and traditions that are set forth by AA and NA.

there is a meeting in dallas. the calendar and information for starting a meeting can be downloaded at www.pillsanonymous.com. there are also members there (online) who will work with anyone who is interested in starting a meeting, i.e. help them get it started by sharing their own experience.

in order to download this info, you will have to join the PA site to do so.

i hope this helps and good luck! we would love to add another meeting to our face to face calendar.

namaste'
