There is a digital convention going on in Germany right now. The English Meeting will take place at 17:00 GTM+2 today. So, if you can take hold of a laptop, go there and listen up! We all faced the first 24h and than another (they'd been bad) and than another (they been worse) and than another (they'd been a little better) and even 24h more (they'd been fucking hell). But it is getting better! Try! You have nothing to loose, but so much to win!
Hi friend! You're going to have to start attending meetings if you want help. All meetings start with an explanation of how the program works and how we can help. We have all been in your shoes before, feeling lost, scared, and alone. Just pick a meeting and show up. Listen and introduce yourself if you feel comfortable. Here is the info for a meeting that is specifically for newcomers:
For Newcomers: An Introduction to NA
Monday 7:00pm EDT
Zoom Meeting ID 875 5602 2689
The only requirement is a desire to stop using in order to attend. Just bear in mind the rules of the program. You have a desire to obstain from certain drugs. At the end of the day, we are all trying to be better people. When I first went into NA, all I cared about was the chips because I thought at a certain number, the urge would go away. It didn't, not that way anyway.
I deal with mental health issues, so NA is an important piece of my program of improvement, but it is just one part of many. I elected to follow their rules because I'm one of those people who cannot ever use once and be cool. So I get those chips, but really, they are a nice little aside, but the real rewards are the people, the principles, and the real reward is the improvements in your life.
My opinion.....as a new guy, only at about 5 months, if you go to NA to keep you from abstaining from doing crack, meth heroin, cool, all good. Weed and booze, that's your business, ya know. If you really wanted a chip, you can just buy it and commemorate your acheivement. You earned it. Especially knowing some friends who self-harm, it's a miracle they survive 24 hours from what they tell me.
There are sects of NA who say taking prescribed anti depressants etc make you not clean. But they ain't taking my chip from me. Even if they did, it's what the time means to me, not to them. Hope that makes sense. I tried to make this as clear as I could but I think I failed. So I'll just say, in my meeting, you're always welcome.

I'm really sorry to hear you went through that. Our literature is very clear that the only requirement for membership is the desire to stop using. Also pg 109 of the Step Working Guides says "We as members have a duty to encourage the spiritual explorations of other members, and we who are exploring need to know that we can look wherever we want for our spirituality without threatening our membership in NA." I'm glad you made it back and I hope you are able to connect with some folx in meetings. I am gender non-conforming and my homegroup meets Tuesday nights at 6 online:

Personally I found that reading the Sponsorship IP helped me understand both what the process is and what I needed in a Sponsor.
Zoom meetings are great. Check out this men’s meeting on Saturday mornings. It’s at 7:45 am Pacific Time. A really good welcoming meeting. I haven’t found a better one in my 5 years in recovery. Hope to see you there.
If you really need them, I suggest getting a timed locker that you can put the pills in and set a timer for your next one. I have given an amazon link below as an example.

If you have someone who lives with you, I'd suggest giving them control over when you can take another.
There's a noon NA zoom meeting everyday started in Albuquerque, New Mexico but open to addicts everywhere. 7 days a week, 12 pm (mountain standard time). Rotating format, discussion, might try to get a speaker in there once a week. Newcomers are beyond welcome and encouraged to attend!
We're working on getting it up on the virtual NA site, will hopefully be up there soon.

There's the NA Recovery Companion app. It doesn't have all the features you mentioned, but it does have the ability to take a daily inventory. It also has some other stuff like links to group readings, etc.
It costs $2.99 which it might not be worth, but the money goes to World Services so I view it as supporting the fellowship.

If you have an Android device, this is the free app I use to find meetings wherever I am. It finds meetings that aren't listed on na.org. The wife and I went to a place 2.5 hours away, tried to find a meeting on na.org and couldn't, but this app found the meetings.
