Awesome NA speaker meeting on honesty and developing a relationship with a higher power. Entertaining, funny, and a wonderful, strong recovery message! :) "Narcotics Anonymous (NA) describes itself as a "fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem" following the Twelve Steps and the Twelve Traditions developed by Alcoholics Anonymous, and it is the second-largest 12-step organization. As of May 2010 there were more than 58,000 NA meetings in 131 countries. Because no attendance records are kept, it is impossible to estimate what percentages of those who come to Narcotics Anonymous remain active in NA over time. The only sure indicator of the program's success in attracting members is the rapid growth in the number of registered Narcotics Anonymous meetings in recent decades and the rapid spread of Narcotics Anonymous outside North America. In 1978, there were fewer than 200 registered groups in three countries. In 1983, more than a dozen countries had 2,966 meetings. In 1993, 60 countries had over 13,000 groups holding over 19,000 meetings. In 2002, 108 countries had 20,000 groups holding over 30,000 meetings. In 2005, 116 countries had over 21,500 groups holding over 33,500 weekly meetings. In 2007, there were over 25,065 groups holding over 43,900 weekly meetings in 127 countries. In 2012, there were over 62,700 meetings worldwide in over 142 countries" From Wikipedia Follow us on social media at: Twitter- http://www.twitter.com/odomtology Facebook- http://www.facebook.com/odomtology Pinterest- http://www.pinterest.com/odomtology Please share with anyone, anywhere at anytime!

I love this tape by one of the most-popular NA speakers, Sherman H. He lays out the horrors of his active addiction as well as the Program of Recovery that brought him his new life! Great listen! :) "Narcotics Anonymous (NA) describes itself as a "fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem" following the Twelve Steps and the Twelve Traditions developed by Alcoholics Anonymous, and it is the second-largest 12-step organization.

In my opinion, this is the best NA speaker I have ever heard. Period. I would try to give a short description here, but it would not do Karin justice. All I can say is, if you listen to this tape, you will be moved and touched in a powerful and profound way. "Narcotics Anonymous (NA) describes itself as a "fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem" following the Twelve Steps and the Twelve Traditions developed by Alcoholics Anonymous, and it is the second-largest 12-step organization.

NA Meeting Share Make sure to like us on facebook :) We'd love to have ya stop in and see us! http://www.facebook.com/odomtology What is the Twelve Step Model? How is it a "treatment for addiction" or "drug abuse?" From Wikipedia: "A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as 'spiritual principles,' based on the approved literature) outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems... The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs. Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide range of substance-abuse and dependency problems." The importance of this video, and all our other videos, are to show that recovery IS possible and to give hope to those who are struggling with substance abuse issues. Help IS out there! :) You can follow us on twitter too! http://www.twitter.com/odomtology

Okay folks, there are a only few tapes where I say "put on your seat belt" before you listen. Well, this is one of them! Recorded at a Cocaine Anonymous speaker meeting (That particular fellowship that uses the Big Book of AA as its recovery text) in 1998, this is Chris R.'s most famous talk. I will admit this share is a bit "rough around the edges" but it is still quite the message! Chris has mellowed out with age, but this is him in his early days, 100% raw, real, and we have left the tape in its original form, uncut and unedited. He is passionate about reaching others with the Hope and Healing that the 12-Steps provide. And WOW, does it sure come through on this talk! Again, seat belts everyone, you've been warned.. ;) Enjoy the ride! Addiction treatment WORKS! The Twelve Step Model has been utilized as a treatment for alcohol abuse and alcoholism since 1935. It is extremely important to know that help IS out there and addiction recovery is possible. If you are battling alcoholism, drug addiction, addiction or any other form of addictive behavior, there are people who know EXACTLY what it is like! It is important to note there are several ways for one to address his or her alcohol abuse treatment. Substance abuse is a very serious condition and has become an epidemic in today's world. Many people suffering with substance abuse need treatment, such as inpatient stays, rehab, or counseling. The importance and purpose of this video, and all our other videos, is to show that recovery IS possible and to give hope to those who are struggling with alcohol and drug addiction issues. Help IS out there! Every tape is carefully selected to ensure its quality and that it is entertaining to listen to. You can trust Odomtology 12-Step Recovery Media to be synonymous with the best online recovery material out there. QUALITY is our mission. That is why we have the large and engaged following that we do. Have fun and enjoy listening to the amazing, wonderful, and powerful recovery speakers!

Betsy shares a powerful message of the freedom that Recovery provides the addict. Truly an inspirational and powerful talk!

Wonderful share by NA speaker Ron H. He talks about the baggage that we sometimes accumulate in recovery, and the baggage we often come to the program with. Whether it is guilt, shame, or character defects, Ron shares about how to "Let go" and to become more free every day of the things that so often weigh us down.

"People pleasing" is a concept that a lot of people have problems with when they get into recovery. This talk is from several different speakers on the subject, who help people understand that it's ok to take care of yourself, set healthy boundaries, and be responsible for oneself.
