I found a few NA meetings so I'll be going to one. I'm looking for Dojo's right now. Thanks for the help and your time everyone.

Hi!

You have to be careful what dojo you choose. Some are not legitimate.

If you tell me your exact location(town) I can help you out. I can find one in the middle of a haystack even! I know where the kendo dojos are up in North Cali. And, where is your Aunt again?

However, I will only find you kendo. You are not a candidate for traditional sword training with an Iaito(blunt edged practice sword-you wouldn't be allowed to use a sharp sword for a really really long time, if ever, in a dojo.) or bokken yet. Once you are fully sober and free of drugs for a long time, then you could train in that type of dojo. You will not be safe using one until then. Sorry. I'll
be back later to explain why so you understand what a sword is capable of doing to you and others. I wouldn't let you near a sword or bokken in a dojo(Or outside one either, for that matter. No untrained person should be playing with a sword.) if you were my kid at this point for safety reasons due to the drinking and drugs. No offense, ok?
