Hey, Cuberth. My name is Michael and I am a grateful recovering alcoholic...in Lansing. You have an extensive network of recovery here. There are three "clubs" - West, East and South as well as many regularly scheduled non-club sites throughout the city and area. In all there are approximately 400 meetings each week. Each club can provide you with a meeting schedule or meeting directory. I'm told that the South club has an active young peoples group which may be of interest to you. I'm 5 years sober and though substantially older than you, would be willing to chat and see if I can help you in the process or lead you to someone who can. Glad that you are here.
I wish you no luck. For there is no luck in this process. Thankfully, my luck ended when I entered the program. From then on it's been lacing up the recovery work boots each day and going to work on a continuum of recovery. I value the spiritual nature of the program as it relates to working a step and living the underlying principle. My observation is that meeting makers make it to meetings, step takers get sober and practitioners of the principles live soberly. Keep coming back.
