Joey started drinking in year 6 and then and using marijuana after being bullied and weight shamed in year 7 at school.  She came into NA with the help of her sister who was already in AA and found early meetings quite challenging.  Joey has been clean in Narcotics Anonymous for about 2 years and 10 months but it took over 4 years and a series of breaks since encountering NA in rehab over 7 years ago. Now a committed member of NA in Geelong, life and relationships with family and friends are seriously better and she doesn’t have to be with the cool crowd anymore to feel good.

If you have a problem with drugs of any kind, you can call the Narcotics Anonymous helpline on 1300 652 820 or 0488 811 247 or go online at na.org.au.
