My MMT Clinic has asked me if I'm interested in starting up and directing monthly or bi-weekly MA meetings. PLEASE read my addt'l details!

I've never visited an MA meeting... Is it the same format as NA/AA? I hope it's different.. I don't care for NA/AA. My primary questions are: #1 Can you help me figure out how to design the layout of the meetings? #2 Do you know where I can go online or which books I can look into to do the necessary research to prepare myself to take over these meetings? #3 Based on your own previous experiences with MA, can you give me advice and tips to help make sure my meetings are appealing to the clients and to ensure that they not only want to come back to the next meeting but that they truly get valuable information from each one? #4 Can you provide me with any information [that wasn't covered by my precious questions] that you think may be valuable to me right now when getting the meetings started? THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help! I sincerely appreciate it!

Marijuana Anonymous huh?.......well, I was unaware such a thing existed until this exact moment......just like any other drug the individual must WANT to quit.....the problem with Marijauna "addicts" is that most of them don't even truly believe that it's bad and trying to convince them otherwise is almost like talking to a wall......I truly wish you all the luck in the world if you decide to undertake this endeavor......this link should be helpful...

Sorry, I should have been clearer, but I thought I would be understood my mentioning the MMT Clinic.

And there's pretty much an "anonymous" group for anything!! Food, drugs of all kinds, sex, shopping, gambling, etc...
