LIGHT TO LIGHT LOVE IN ACTION
You don’t have to fight addiction solo—meetings like AA or NA can lift you up, and they’re free. Here’s how to find one: go to aa.org for Alcoholics Anonymous or na.org for Narcotics Anonymous. Type your zip code—say, 60435 if you’re in Joliet—and a list pops up. You’ll see times and places, like a church basement or community center in Will County. Pick one that fits—morning, night, whatever works. Don’t overthink it; just go. You don’t have to talk—sit in the back, sip coffee, listen. People there know the struggle; they’ve walked it too. I remember what my son said about his first meeting—he was nervous, thought he’d be judged. Instead, someone shook his hand, said, “Glad you’re here.” That was it—no preaching, just real talk. If you’re shaky about showing up, call ahead—(312) 346-1475 for AA or (708) 848-4884 for NA in Northern Illinois. They’ll tell you what to expect. In Will County, meetings happen in Joliet, Plainfield, Lockport—close enough to reach. It’s not a cure, but it’s a start. One hour, one story from someone like you, can shift your headspace. Addiction wants you isolated; a meeting says you’re not. Take that step—find one today. You’ll leave lighter than you came.
