Raymond - NA Speaker - "One Addict Talking to Another"

AWESOME share at a Narcotics Anonymous speaker meeting by Raymound! Very inspirational talk as he relates to the addict still suffering and pulls the listener with a vision of hope for the future. A new, fulfilling life without drugs is not only possible, but can be attained by taking some simple steps. In a charming and down to earth manner, Raymound explains his addiction and his recovery in a moving and powerful way! Great NA speaker tape!
"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

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.

[@danm3195]

Well done sincerely, it's a hard road .keep doing it.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!

[@user-df9qq5cb9l]

Just starting listening to the speakers online and I am going to continue. I want to live a life FREE of drugs!!

[@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.

[@godgod4308]

Got 3 weeks clean and sober I go to NA meetings 2ice a week Got NA book I'm reading it slowly, I hate reading.

[@blessedmslady7016]

Hi, I'm alcoholic. KEEP READING❗ You'll get to the place where you LOVE reading- anything😘 BLESS YOU, may God be with you and I both🙏

[@twelvesteps1085]

3 ks clean. right on read all the books

[@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.

[@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.

[@henryakapaux3363]

when i first got in the program i just didn't listen, im listening today

[@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.
