Deciding to Become Clean and Sober
For many people this is the first step. It is okay if you are not ready to give up alcohol or drugs yet. This is a big decision and sobriety does not happen the minute you decide to stop using.
If you want to meet people who are also getting clean and sober, but are still not ready to commit to a program you can always check out an NA or AA program. NA meetings are for recovering addicts and are held at various locations in San Francisco and meet regularly
