Almost fifteen months of sobriety and I am going to praise God and be in the desire to do the next right thing, stay strong fellowship

Thank you so much for posting this. Frank was my best friend. We were there for each other from day 1. We walked each other down the aisle when we each got married. His was the shoulder I cried on when I got divorced. He supported my recovery via phone when I moved to South America and later Asia to help start NA meetings overseas. I was there for him when he moved to Arizona. I was living in Asia when he died and it broke my heart not to have been there for him at the end. I was missing him today, so I googled to see if anyone had posted a taped about him and here he was. Thank you for giving me the gift of his recovery once again. Sharing Hugs of gratitude with you!

do you have any speaker tapes? it is only part of it, before he got clean. would love to hear the rest of it. or do you know when/where he spoke at? maybe NAWS has in the archives?

I remember he did speak at one of the early Greater NY Regional Conventions. I will be going to my storage locker to store stuff July 4th weekend so I will check my Convention programming documents since I was the chair/vice chair & member for many years on that committee. My documents will also tell me who the recording vendor is. I know that vendor is still in business so we will be able to get a copy. Thanks for the nudge! You'll here back from me at that time.

Heaven's Gate Please share more if you can! What happened to him? I don't need specifics, I just want to know if he was able to pass away clean?! I apologize if that is too personal a question, but I have never, ever been so moved by ANY speaker. This man is amazing, and I would love to hear more!

he was my beloved for many, many years. in new york and then in phoenix for many years. he passed away on may 8, 2002, clean, not alone, loved and cared for deeply. i miss him every day, even 15 years later. i have no digital recordings of him, and finding this is a gift from him from beyond. xoxo

However the notification prompted me to listen to the first 2 mins again, and I am still blown away by the speaker describing how he views the dichotomy of light/dark within himself and also his customary note about anniversaries struck a chord with me too. So for me to be able to connect with another humans experience so quickly without being in the same room or even seeing their face just blows me away. I am actually interested to know your thoughts internet friend!

Powerfull...sad...and wonderfull...thank you so much

This Gentleman touched me… I really really felt moved and helped after his talk. What an amazing Gentleman…Thank you.

i am a grateful person because of you all, i made thru the teenage years because you all in the rooms; where there for me. it didn't matter that i native, Thailand, and what ever else. Knowing that was the only college student struggling with alcohol and heroin , and eating. i had to learn what was the right type of food to eat instead of empty calories of alcohol being a gymnast, cheer coach, just busy, because i couldn't be still in my spirit because i was afraid of being alone, because i was destructive to myself. Not hurting me like self injury or anything, but drugs and alcohol was my painful behavior. i had to learn, just to follow instructions, in the rooms and my sponsor , and after 9 years i finally became a real person worthy of love.

I relate to everything you shared it was such a great share and you definitely carried the message to everyone thank u I just had to listen to this to make me realise I'm not the only one that's gone through all of what you have been through when you was a child I had the same stuff happen to me abuse from 7 years of age up antil I was 12 by 2 different people and I got on drugs early age and beat up by the people that came in my mum house when she was drunk all the time so thank you and I feel ur message and I'm happy I listen and il keep listening my name Samantha and I'm from UK England London City

She said something so profound, "Ivis they GOT TOILET TISSUE 4 THAT!" I bust out laughing. Lol My highest dose was 100 mg & my lowest was 10 mg. What HELPED me the most was something my counselor said, "If u want 2 be successful w/ getting off of Methadone LESSEN YOUR STRESS LEVEL."

@@ronmexico79 because when we stop going to meeting our disease of addiction manifests. There is no cure, only a daily reprieve. Meetings help us remember the desperation of what our lives were, and give us strength to keep going forward without drugs or alcohol, along with hope. There's an expression if diabetics don't take their meds for the rest of their lives their disease acts up & can kill them, so for people with the disease of addiction NA (or other recovery groups/fellowships) are our meds, meetings help keep our disease in check so we can live. I hope I was able to give you a little understanding. Have a good day.

My real name is iyan vivian s. , and when i in gymnastics it was mckay, and when i was 3 my name was changed to yvonne p. ; i was in foster care and that is how i have 3 names. my birth day is 10- 1- 2004, and received a birth certificate thru the house of Ruth, to use to start elementary school thru college. my grand mom died in 2008, and i don't know the rest of my family. it was because i kept moving around and different schools, i realized my teachers where like my family and i excelled in the classroom to make them proud of me , i attempt to be better and better at school work, no matter if sick or not. i wanted to prove my teachers, that i was worth the time and effort, and when college ended in 2016, it was like i lost my family, but the woman's meeting became my outlet and the rooms weren't attention, and realized i shiver if i don't have my candy or special soda. i'm doing good. This is my last post (kinda my 3 step work), but i will listen to meeting only in the computer lab at my current daycare. thanks for being here!
