Forged NA meeting signatures

NA meetings are always pretty boring.... specially when there are 30 people there.


I mean i like the whole 12 step stuff, but its to cult for me.


i prefer my harm reduction outpatient rehab

 

i always found it entertaining watching NA members fight for the coffee..

 

Normally I would probably say go do the meetings and don't fuck the system...

BUT mandated NA meetings? Fuck that. I don't believe in the 12 Step program anyway. I don't think it works to be honest.

As some alluded to, it's funny to watch the members fight for the coffee, or go outside and smoke 10 butts in a row.

Or become Born-Again Christians.

You just trade one addiction for another.

/Rants....no offense to those who feel it helps them. More power to you.

I stopped drinking almost 10 years ago because I had to. I didn't need a 12 step, I just stopped. And I was a heavy drinker.

 

i was ordered to attend 3 aa meetings a week for a year. after the first month or so i said, fuck it, and forged all the signatures with the help of my wife. i would also give it a little wear and tear, to make it look like i was carrying it around all month. so i would spit on it, spill shit all over it, rip it, whatever.

anyways, good luck man

 

yea man the main thing that works about the meetings, is getting a good group of people who are going through the same shit you are and are not using you can make some great friends. but then u also got the guys who ask u after the meetings if u can get them xanny bars (happened to me)

 

lol.

i might go to a meeting or two and get some real signatures then forge the rest you need. not the same signatures, that could be a problem. different peoples signatures. that way if they call the people then some people will say they signed and some will say either no or they dont remember. either way it looks better to a p.o/judge if at least some people say they are sure they signed it.

and don't be memorable. blend. that way the peoples signatures who you forged will be less likely to remember you werent there and might just say they did sign it to save face and not look like they don't even know whos shit they sign and don't sign.

 

man, fuck mandated NA meetings..its kinda fucked that they force you to attend those considering many people DONT believe in a higher power, and those programs want you to give yourself to that higher power..

its another example of how church and state should be separate.

 

I do believe that there is the option to attend other more secular types of programs, but the problem is that there are very, very few of those. You pretty much have to google "12 Step Alternatives".

I got convinced to go to an Al-Anon meeting once, hated every second of it. Never went back.

The higher power part always gets me, and also the "I have no control over my actions" bullshit bothers me too.

 

ok wont state the obvious, but here is the maybe not so obvious.
if and thats abig if, but still.... if you get caught.
they could go after you for forgery, fraud and throw you in jail for not completing court ordered things. To each his own, best o luck!

 

IMHO being forced to anything one has not set their mind to do is a waste. I am a big fan of NA, AA, and CA, and rehabilitation programs as well. However, in most cases, especially when they are ordered by the court, they are a waste of time and money.

Now fo rmy personal experience with pretrial court ordered programs. I was indicted on Federal Drug charges years ago. I was only out on bond for a short time, but the reasons they revoked my bond are not important here, and it had nothing to do with going to meetings/rehab. I had to attend 12 per month, or 3 per week. I had to turn in my papers every other week with at least 6 meetings on them signed by the chair person. I went to one meeting a week and got the whole sheet signed at that meeting by other members who 'understood' where I was coming from. Not once did they check the sigs for authenticity. Basically, juust get some of your friends to sign it for you. These programs complete foundation is built on remaining anonymous, so the court seldom check sigs, they may however notice a similarity in your writing if you try to sign it yourself. So just get some of your friends to sign it.

Hey I'm new to the group.

I'm in a similar situation. The court ordered me to attend a DUI prgram AND drug diversion program.

My DD program requires 10 NA meeting signatures for me to pass and 3 clean piss tests. He said my tests were clean, I just need to get my signatures and finish paying, and I'm done. I went to two of the meetings.. It's hard to get rides and get to the meetins without a license! Dumb ass courts.... Anyways: Do you think he would take the time to check? It's not like he is getting payed extra by anyone to double check the signatures... Right?

How did the original poster's situation turn out?

Again, I don't have to show it to any judge, just the teacher of my assigned drug diversion class..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

It's all good Stephen I got your back on this one I was actually on my way back from a clinic doctor had some medical issues and was on medication that I had not taken until the night before so was not a DUI and they try to stick me with that they put me in jail for 4 days found nothing in my system but was prescribed to me which they couldn't Miley sleep prove that that was in my system at the time I was driving so I understand where you're coming from having to do any classes that you don't believe you were in the wrong why be punished if you haven't done a thing to be punished for so I got your back bro Chris

 

Oh yeah and it kind of defeats the purpose of going to your AA/NA meetings and who are the people attending and whether or not they really want the help that's being offered! My problem is I'm seeing a lot of it court order people there and I've been approached now 3 times in the parking lot after my you know class and was offered drugs and no really offended me and I believe that the na or AA is a place to go for people who have lost their way completely and feel like they've lost all support and that's the only support we got so I don't blame you Steven Ford trying to get out of there and get some signatures because half the people in there fake so I kind of got your back on this one bro but at the same time I say trying to find enough Better Home Group because there are some decent ones out there alright much love Chris
