[ Every now and then the venue for his NA meetings changed. Sometimes it’s a church, other times a local YMCA or a hospital. In a pinch, they end up in someone’s home. TJ hosted once, but his mother expressed concern about him having a bunch of addicts in his place (she acts like it’s her mansion and not some cramped little apartment that doesn’t even have a bedroom).
Whatever… It doesn’t matter that much. TJ isn’t all that committed to the idea that sharing with a bunch of folks is going to make his life better. In fact, he pours out into the hall with the rest of the group with nothing but relief. He’s got better things to do than sit around and talk about the blur of his life and listen to others make excuses. But it’s part of an unspoken agreement with his family, so he goes.
And when it’s over he makes his way down the hall toward the drinking fountain. It looks like some other group just broke up, too, from the amount of people meandering out the door beside him. They look more put together than the junkies from his group. He tries to get a look at the little table with brochures set out next to the door before Sam collects them all. ]
