Im a new comer, 89 days. My name is German and im an addict. I just came from my first NA convention in south fl and he was the main speaker. He was absolutly amazing.

[@Aud1b1e1nc1s1on]

Hey German , how are you doing these days?

[@SteveW84]

Are you still clean today? Did you go to Coda or SLAA? a hell of a lot of us can benefit from those programs - in my experience

[@reggiegeorges5850]

Hey I'm Reggie G. How's it going. Just for today.

[@vivinm9640]

I can hear this message over n over 💜💜💜

[@germanmeza5193]

I managed to get 2 years.... but I relapsed. I stayed out for 2 years. It's wild to come back to this speaker tape and see the comment was 4 years ago. I'm back tho, 19 days.

[@GotStones1]

How’s it going

[@miketadrous1659]

Raymond is the best. Love that man can’t wait for him come speak for my group next Friday

[@mimisjourney9514]

I enjoy coming to these videos and hearing the speaker tell their stories and experiences etc. I would rather come on here and pull these videos up rather than driving to the nearest meeting and going to sit in there. Thank you for uploading these!!

[@vitoasaro4663]

Sounds like Pastor Ray. Love that dude. What a powerful message of recovery. GOD bless!

[@ivisburris705]

I enjoyed listening 2 u Raymond. The reason being, "One addict helping another addict is w/o parallel." Thank u 4 sharing ur experience, strengths & hopes. I'm thankful 4 being apart of the "No Matter What Club!" I must stay vigilant, I must stay connected & I must stay FOCUS.

[@aprilhumphrey1555]

Thanks Great message of NA, greatful to come across this. I'am a 47 year old woman from Indiana/Kentucky. Came around at age 26. Totally relate to this share.

[@ryanwardcomedy]

Doing step 1 for the 4th time in 2 yrs....the struggle is real

[@sarahventura2]

This was amazing. I get so caught up with life sometimes that I forget were I came from and what my main focus should always be. Stopping the drugs was just the beginning of my journey. I used to do HNI for a long time in several facilities. I loved it so much and I hope I can find the time to get back into it one day. I would love to go to some women's prisons in my area one day, and I know if I stay clean I'll find my journey there. Your experience with your son was relieving to hear. I recently had to talk to my daughter about those things of things and I was almost in tears in front of many people wondering how I could teach her something I was never taught myself. I was clueless. I had no words and really no clue but somehow I ended up doing just great and everything just came too me, all the right things to say or not say. I realized what a fucken great Mom I was in that moment and I was so grateful too be clean. These kinds of moments push me on in my hardest moments. Anybody can stay clean and find a new way of life because I am proof of that and so are you. I love my NA family!

[@jenniferoconnor8824]

I think your sharing is great! You are very funny as well. That's nice to come across when I am looking through N/A speakers here on youtube. :) I'll have 30 days on the 24th of May. :)

[@vivinm9640]

Awesome A clear NA message, We Do Recover ❤👍🙏

[@gavegas7043]

Omg this is so amazing!! 🤩 I was in early recovery back in 2001 and turning tricks in Vegas as a high dollar call girl. God called my name and the miracle happened JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS.

[@shellyroth5492]

Vegas girl clean af here too ❤women do recover

[@EarlTutson]

Hello family my name is Earl I have 12 days clean.

[@ChristopherSeth]

This is me. I went out with religious zeal. My zeal wasn’t even a relationship though. Just a concept. I turned my back on NA and after almost 2 years of being out my life has become completely unmanageable. I was 4.5 years clean but never worked the program. Life got busy and good. Now the pain is so real. So deep, so visceral. The God of my understanding has led me back. I whole heartedly believe that the entirety of the program of NA including really working the steps is God’s will for my life. God help me to be honest, open minded and willing.

[@beakf1]

One of the best things i ever heard any speaker say was become a student of N/A. If any of this info helps keep you clean for a day you will forget it tomorrow. When you study maths and stop doing it you get crap at it until you revise again. So i write the bits down i need from these videos in a book and underline all the sections in the N/A book (or you can record yourself speaking them if you cant write) and the more i revise the more i understand it. I can hear a saying 499 times but wont understand it until the 500th time because i think i know best or this disease separates me and stops me from truly hearing. So when i write it down and read the bits that apply to me daily i understand faster and have to suffer less.

[@Rick-Europe]

thanks for sharing ime proud too be a NA member and happy to be clean almost 7 months

[@maus9814]

But plan to go back this weekend Ty guy for speaking your story really touched me..

[@hoon-depot]

good message. get busy living or get busy dying....just get busy....everybody is entitled to their process...thanks for being part of mine

[@beakf1]

The price for instant gratification is your soul being stabbed, the price is my spiritual condition. Took me ages to figure this out and start my journey.

[@velmar.2472]

My name is Velma and I'm in recovery. It was great to hear the experience, strength and hope of the many who are in recovery today! I've been listening to these speakers throughout the work day. Reminds me that I am in recovery and I will do what ever it takes to stay clean and sober. Today we celebrate 7 years, 6 months and 29 days...Thank you ALL the members of A.A. & N.A. :)
