As you begin your addiction treatment program at Legacy Healing Center, you will notice that the support from other clients making their way through an alcohol rehab program or a drug rehab program is invaluable.
During your time at Legacy Healing Center, you will participate in numerous group therapy sessions that will help you develop a better understanding of a variety of topics, including addiction treatment, recovery, and sobriety. You will also have the chance to listen to the stories of other people in your group. This process will give you the basis for helping you make connections with other people in your group and assist you in starting to develop your own system of support.
Once you return home to Long Island, it’s essential to your recovery that you continue with this healthy trend by attending narcotics anonymous meetings that are local to your area. Taking this step will help give you the support you need to continue to remain focused on your goals for long-term sobriety.
If you need recommendations of NA meetings in the area, you may want to consider attending one of these:
Hopeful in Hicksville at Parkway Community Church
Do you find yourself struggling in the middle of the week with your sobriety? It’s not uncommon. Thankfully, the Hopeful in Hicksville meeting can provide you with the reassurance that you need to continue in your sobriety. This is an open meeting that takes place every Wednesday between 1 PM and 2 PM, so it’s the perfect option if you want to take your lunch break to attend it.
Are you looking to start your week off in a positive light? Attending the We Will Never Close meeting is an excellent way to do just that. This is an extended meeting that takes place every Sunday between 3:30 PM and 5 PM. This is an open meeting, and the meeting’s text focuses on the premise of just for today: Just for today, I will remain sober, and I will focus on the rest when it comes.
One of the most frustrating aspects of trying to combat addiction to alcohol is that alcohol is seemingly everywhere in our society. Not only might you pass liquor stores throughout the day, but you may continuously see advertisements for alcohol on television throughout the day. This can make it difficult for you to maintain your sobriety on any given day, which is why it’s so essential for you to take the time to attend an alcoholics anonymous meeting regularly.
Here are meetings that are local to the Long Islan area:
St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church
Monday mornings are usually tricky for every person, not only a person amid recovery. An excellent way to begin your Monday morning is by attending an alcoholics anonymous meeting. St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church hosts an AA meeting every Monday morning which starts at 6:45. This meeting focuses on the steps you need to take to maintain your sobriety and share the battles or feelings you may have experienced over the weekend. You will likely realize that you are not the only person in your group that may have gone through the same struggles.
It’s not uncommon that many people who suffer from alcoholism find Friday nights particularly difficult. This was the reason why the TGIF Group was created. This meeting takes place every Friday at 6 PM at the First Presbyterian Church. This is a closed meeting, which means that only people working toward their recovery may attend this meeting. A closed meeting can help to provide you with a better sense of peace because you will know that you are only talking with other people that have gone through their own addiction.
The Legacy Healing Center team is always available to provide Long Island residents with the tools and resources you need to continue working on your sobriety.
