  • Addiction is a disease according to the American Medical Assoc. It is a brain disorder and it doesn't have to be drugs. It could be anything that you impulsive and compulsive about. It could be work, money, sex, food. NA deals with the disease not the substance and it works. To those that can use successfully more power to yo. I a not knocking you. My wife can have a few drinks and it not effect her as it effects me. So I abstain from all substances

  • Addiction is not a disease, it's a behavior problem resulting from holding on to beliefs that don't match reality (like "It'll be different this time - I'll drink in moderation" and "Drinking will give me good results". This is delusional thinking on the face of past bad results. The solution is to believe that I am a defective and incurably diseased person and need to believe that I have Invisible superhuman friends with magical powers? Please. That's just more delusions.

  • STUPID VID

  • @Thatsnotfunnie say what you want but I have everything I have ever wanted LOVE

  • Anybody can say what they want I don't really care Some say I have broken traditions and some say this is a Good Thing. This is my story MY E.S.H. If I want to share it with the world I will If you have been and seen what I have seen in 31 yrs of active addiction 15 yr in and out of the rooms faking for one reason or another and finally making a legit stab at it you would too. Life is great though I am dealing with liver cancer from my using and awaiting transplant

  • @Tommyguns4ever now u have a disease..u never did before..hold yourself accountable..Stop avoiding..thats why half our world is fat and lazy..if u want something u get it..no cult can help only confuse

  • @magicxification I never said I didn't have a disease. I am hardly fat and lazy. I am accountable for the decisions I made earlier in life after being clean for 5 yrs. I was Diagnosed with Hep C, Cirrhosis and Liver cancer as a result of these decisions. You Sir, have obviously not done any research on addiction you are speaking on your opinion of addiction and Na not on the proven facts

  • @magicxification Are you implying that Narcotics Anonymous is a cult? Do not speak on what you know nothing about. People like myself who suffer with the DISEASE of addiction cannot simply put down drugs and make things okay, this is why we confide in a fellowship that revolves around spiritual principles. We look to the fellow addict for support, without this fellowship people such as myself would be dead. You're ignorance is unfortunate, but that's okay.

  • I got my help through NA 5yrs now The Message of Hope and a Promise of Freedom

  • be sure to check out right programs trailors @ youtube!

    real individuals getting help today!

  • As members, groups, and service committees, we are ultimately not in a position of authority to demand that another member must adhere to the guidance offered by our Twelve Traditions. As for individuals outside of NA, they are under no obligation to abide by our guiding principles, though many will be respectful if politely informed of how their actions may do a disservice to NA.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for writing to NA World Services.

    In response to your inquiry, the unfortunate reality is that the online activities of an individual may not be respectful, and may even conflict with our traditions. However, in many of these situations we are not in a position of authority over individuals in or out of NA. If you have attempted to raise the awareness of the responsible individual(s) without success,

  • After sending a copy to World services this is the response I got.

  • Hi I've been a member of N.A. over 20 years & realize you thought it was good & wanted to do something good by posting this. It unfortunately does harm the program though. gws5367 1 minute ago

  • NA rocks. But did you ask world to use NA in this nice video? Just wondering. remember the traditions bud. this is why we have sponsors and we ask before we act. Jr

  • According to African Shamans like Credo mutwa, Even if you have a drug problem you should NEVER call yourself an addict. According to this wisdom tradition of the shamans naming something gives it extraordinary power. Simply naming a problem you are having can make it take you over. Human psychology is not something that can be understood by western Aristotelian logic; It is a subtle science and must come from a higher source, in this case shamanic healers.

  • @tenthousandyearsgoon WERE NOT IN AFRICA FREAK SO STFU

  • @tenthousandyearsgoon Dude you are siriusly retarded and comical. god bless NA and I am an addict clean and serine for 10 years. YEA BABY, come to a meeting and check us out bud, you might like it and get some help with this issues you got. be safe, stay clean. Jr

  • i am clean today....jft.

    i am just more one in the n.a. way, tks

  • i'm from... brazil

  • It is great to see people discussing how they stay clean. Why do we have to consider it a competition. We all know our lives are so much better  when we aren't using drugs...not every part of ANY program will be 100% for anyone but if we take what works for us to stay off drugs and beccome better human beings in the process this is a win/win situation. Peace to you all. Please tell me you want peace!

  • What's the point of all this Your-wrong-I'm right stuff? The facts seem to point in the direction of, it's not the principles or the philosophies which truly encapsulate the magic, it's the intent we invest in whatever theory we feel holds OUR truth, our personal idea of what is true. Because everything is just a belief, a theory when on it's own, holds no water. But when we invest all of ourselves within something that resonates with us, we can bring it to life through our actions. Peace.

  • I have had this channel for about 3 yrs now and I have gotten so tired of those that want to knock us, that are trying to change and make out lives better, down to make us feel less so they feelbetter about temselves. I unbderstand waht you are saying it is Just like the God of my understanding. It is what you belive and what works for you

  • Precisely Tommyguns4ever.......But it can be even more than that. It can be that we all hold the same truth, simply, we percieve it through different sets of eyes. My God, your God, my idea of what maintains my sobriety in relation to your NA program....the same intention and wholeness simply wrapped in a different material topped with a different bow....the gift is still the same, Liberation!

  • Yes but those that come here just to start trouble. I get so fed up with them and I am only human and I make mistakes as far as dealing with others and yes our GIFT is the same, FREEDOM!

  • Tommy there are so many that are not willing to accept all aspects of the program and then there are those who believe that we are weak minded people. That we are beneath them. I know that in my heart that God, no matter how you understand him, does work just like the 12 steps do. So he keep moving on and the haters of the 12 steps keep sitting in their own mess. God Bless and happy new year.BTW I will have 11 years clean Jan 7. The program is good

  • Yeah, I thought NA was about living spiritual principles as outlined in the 12 steps. I thought that tolerance for others was included in that. Well it's obvious buddy, you're not working the program, People who practice the principles in all of there affairs don't use words like Punk ass bitch to those they disagree with. We all know what happens to those who don't work the "Program" right, don't we? Got that needle in your arm yet, crackpipe burning your lips, just a matter of time.

  • Egveryone has limit it is about progress not perfection.,My God is a loving caring God and he would not do nything to harm me so he would not to decide for my demise or destruction. besides if the shoe fits wear it. and who are you to jusdge who is working a program. What works for one may not work for another. There is no perfect program

  • Progress, not perfection? Sounds like an easy out to me, sounds like another excuse. " Well, I won't do this, but at least I'm making progress," great rationalization, for continued failure, in your moral endeavors.

  • You can call it what you want. I don't have to answer to you only to mY God and myself as to the truth in my heart and if you have so much knowledge you would knoy that in the 12 traditions it says Progress not Perfection. I have read the NA text . I tried AA didn't work for me just like in the past it didn't work for others and that is why NA was created by Jimmy K and some others in the AA fellowship

  • BTW, I'm not judging, I'm simply reiterating the principles of the Book you hold so dear. The Books of your Fellowships, of which I have much knowledge, would have you to know that if you do not work the steps and live a life based on it's principles, then you are indeed doomed to a life of dispair. You may want to actually read these books, AA and NA, you will find that your chances are less than you think, if you do not commit to the philosophy spoken of in the books. Sorry, you're buried.

  • No I am not buried Buddy only in ytou sick twisted little closed mind. Maybe you should do some step work

  • Hmmmm......You may need to not only work some steps but clean your glasses. The NA basic text says to work the program to the best of your ability. Also it says after working the steps you will find out how the program will work for you.

  • yes ! and working the 12 traditions outside the fellowship. they are the ties that bind us together, addicts and non-addicts

  • You stated you're not an addict then why are you on this channel just to create problems

  • Good luck, and what if the God that you turned yourself over to in the 3d step, decides it's time to stick that needle in your arm again. Yeah I can tell you're working a real spiritual program, lot of love going on there Tommyguns4ever, even the name sound like someone who doesn't have a clue. Work your program Tommy boy, or according to your program, I'll see you in the gutter, or the alley, Jails, Institutions, death, isnt that what they say?

  • Yes that is what they say and if you see me in the gutter it will be you lokking up at from it. The name conmes from NA given to me by mebers because I do know the BT and practice it. I can SHOOT down any Justification,rationalization, or excuse for using I have been to 2 several times and the last one is why I made the decision to get clean.

  • You don't need a cave you need a shrink

  • Tommygun4ever, Will you build me an elevator. That goes to heaven?????? I need to have a confer. call with Saint . Peters about winning the lottery!

  • outreach 1 I Now work a Union Job building elevators and probaly have a better job than you and also go to school and maintain a house with 4 kids. Before you call people you don't know losers you may want to look in the mirror

  • Tommy, i threw that in for a laugh, im in

    the programme more than 8 years, i attend meetings, only NA that is, i have a decent job and 3 kids, i apologise for upsetting you guys, was being bit naughty. God Bless

  • Congrats I celebrate 4 clean inon Dec 8th. This channnel has been an area of controversy for a long time know and that is not what it was created for. So thank you for the apology and I send mine in return

  • 6 months clean and sober today thanx for the vids Tommy

  • Weasel and Worth. I knew you two were full of it, and now you've revealed the full false story of the "suicide", " miscarriage" and evils of AA. When you claim that you tried to "get names" but AA refused, it shows just how sick you are. You made it up!

    You are lying.

    Why? Looking for attention? Looking for sympathy?

    AA doesn't kill people

    If you have psychiatric problems, get professional help instead of blaming some poor "sponsor" who probably didn't want to talk to you in the 1st place.

  • Weinerinhand

    making something like that up would be sick.

    Accusing people who have been through those things of making them up is far far worse...

    You sir are a cunt.

  • To all AA /NAers you all have lost your minds to a bind . emty fanti. to this cult vacuum. The people in AA ?NA want to "help new commers" but in turn there are conditions to that! So so me the bill so I can flush it down the tiolet.

  • First learn how to spell and with membersip into fellowship of any kind there are rules and conditions, even in society at large

  • Comment removed

  • If AA works in peoples lives then why do most of them say they are never cured?And will "always be sick"And can not survive without the "program of"recovery"> Is that a cult like syndrone to get people so dependent on a blind fanti.? The father monks should look for solutions in life and not focu. the negative.

  • because its a progressive illness for wich there is no known cure.***Wich means even though we are not using today! our discease still grows in us so that for us to pick up and use after even 20 yrs of abstainment would be like we had never stopped 4 a day

  • Because it is the disease of addiction. This is a disorder recognized as a disease by the AMA ( American Medical Association) and there is no cure

  • AMA typical left wing namby pamby yank excuse, well i guess we should all cry for the poor muggers, robbers and burglars as they can't help themselves, boo hoo, lock them up and put them on an island, if it's a disease isolate them. Let them all rot in the one place.

  • No we can help ourselves and that is what we are doing. So we don't come to your house and take your shit you punk ass bitch. I am tired of all you assholes who come to my channel puttiing us down, those trying to change our lives for the better

  • Ah yes the AMA, founded by Marty Mann - Bill W's whore and general whack-job - in order to push the 'disease' bullshit and package it up so that it looked credible...

  • addiction is a disease, a chemical imbalance of the brain, the phenomenon of craving, but i'll never expect for people like you to understand. until you have walked in an addicts shoes ! your argument is pure conjecture, and if you have used drugs ! that still doesn't mean you're an addict

  • utter rubbish! they'll tell you anything to keep your arse on a seat in NA. FYI, I WAS a full blown heroin addict for many years. Get over it.

    I did!

  • good for you..if your way worked ! more power to ya, but don't knock what works for others. all addicts aren't the same, some are sicker than others...N/A has nothing to gain from keeping someones ass in a seat ! it's a non profit organization..i've been kicked out of plenty meetings, so what ?... not using drugs is only half the battle..you seem like what alcoholics refer to as a dry drunk

  • ah... the old 'dry drunk' chestnut eh?

    aint me getting my arse kicked out of meetings and sitting in front of the computer with nothing better to do than try to goad those of us who've moved on.

    but hey, if you wanna waste your life pretending to be sick then all power to you.

    Google AAWS tax returns then come back and tell me its all non profit :)

    actually, don't bother - I'm bored stiff repeating myself

  • so enlighten me - what is the other half of the battle? a normal life by any chance?

    I've got that. Sitting in meetings repeating parrotted babble day in, day out for the rest of your life is not exactly normal

  • the other half is whatever makes your life better besides not using, like working, being with family..etc....N/A and A/A is only a fellowship ! the fellowship alone will not keep you clean. some days i can't wait to get the fuck out of those rooms, some days i need to fellowship with people who've been where i've been...maybe meetings where you are differs from ours, that's why we find a group that fits us..some of them are full of shit

  • pray4serenity is little kid with a small weener whos other profile is godlessweasal. He is in the cult of the anti cult. They are around 8 people strong. Their doctrine is a childish little collage of the most rudimentary kind called the Orange Papers headed by the mythical " Orange". They worship him and parrot him. Pouncing and out of context smattering taken from AA history and publications in order to appease their ego's. Its the nuerotic scribbling of a malecontent. But its their bible~

  • Please provide proof of your accusation amuck14.

    Because you are wrong.

    I will pm you my number and you can ring it and see.

    If you are not too chicken and affraid of the truth

  • Perhaps Amuck14

    Can tell us what Godless would have to gain by creating a "sockpuppet"

    In your own time amuck14.

    No dribble just an answer to the question please

  • Oh you know, to be able to play two roles at once. One, the obviously uneducated ego maniac with all the answers thats godlessweasal, then the other, the dumbfounded newcomer with the name, pray4serenity. It is uncanny how they both seem to repsond to one another within minutes. P4S has said he/.she has begun AA meetings this week and in he/ shes expert opinion I display an anger that could lead to my drinking again. Its so transparent and rediculous Im embarrased for slim weasel

  • Dear oh dear AMUCK14,

    Have you read your posts?

    I have never been to AA yet I have learnt here from YOU about anger causing drink/relapses...From YOU!!!!!

    Watch your ego.You look stooopid.

    I have told you serenity IS NOT godless..

    Are you calling ME a liar?????

  • Are you making up assumptions about things again Amuck?

    Our FACTS are just that FACTS.

    FYI

    I have never read the orange papers.All my opinions are through experience....

    Or are you going to ASSUME YOU know better phorph?????????

    Far TOO many assumptions in AA.

    Probably why AA kills and harms people.

    I mean all that grief you have just give pray4serenity..

    New to AA as well..

    Arent you nice people.If he/she now drinks and dies are YOU gonna take responsibity??????

  • This is remarkable, it seems the cult of the anti cult all hails from the U.K. not all but most. Could this be the wizard of Oz? Is there one small man behind the screen? What a profound charade. I cant get anyone sober and I cant get anyone drunk. AA is designed to help people find a power greater than themselves to help them solve thir problem. As REAL alcoholics, we are beyond human aid. This is quite entertaining, so weasal you have 3 personalities? or more? Such folly~

  • Here amuck14

    Please let me explain

    Godless is my partner,I am her partner

    Clear enough??

    pray4serenity is probably herself...

    Easy isnt it?

  • Oh quite easy to see its all spinning out of control and taking on a life of its own isnt it? So then, you are lesbians? And yet godless would judge my sexuality? This comedy get better everytime I look at it~ You couldnt write this shit!

  • "WE are lesbians"

    Where did that come from???

    Umm no we have kids...

    Masterbation over sexy smoking videos is a perversion not a sexuality..I have told you that before luv.............

  • You are incredibly PARANOID..

    I am telling the truth here.Ask Phorph.Ask anyone.

    2p

    Godless

    2 seperate people...

    serenity I assume another.

    Probably opening a bottle because of your ego.....right now

  • I am so glad that videos of recovery are here to show people like Yoganao that we do live life to the best of our ablity. BTW people how lives in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks! I am only a sheep in the fact that I will follow the shepard, Jesus, if you what to think of people who seek help from the 12 step groups as victim. It is only because of people like you that it didn't work for so go where it worked and find more help. I picked up 10 years in Jan of 09 and my live is far better

  • than when I was running the streets looking for drugs and spending all my money wishing that I could quite. I love the program and hope that what ever works for you keeps working.

  • Yes godly it really great all these AA videos etc are on YT,All the kids can come home from school and watch and read about how great it is to be a member of AA.Then rush out get some drugs and drink and make a start on becoming one themselves....

    How unbeleivably stoooopid and selfish you all are...

  • Thanks for your comments and thank you for sharing. Now the really issue looks like you. Were do you get that I am encouraging children to use? It is great to live a life DRUG FREE. That I have a relateship with God. That I live my life by a set of rules that works, they are simple. I speak to the youth in my chruch to explain what can happen to you if you use drugs. You are sick and need help

  • BS

    Your comments here are encouraging you are just far too selfish to see it,

    You are the asshole ythat is sick NO one else.

    Your relationship with your god gives you the right to judge me?I think you are a sinner in doing so....

    I attacked AAsand your comments here not your programme....

    Your shit stinks even tho YOU choose not to beleive it..\

    Any promotion of your programme here creates an interest by kids.I know I have kids...

    You know nothing except YOURSELF.

  • I am a member of AA.

    Thank you for the medical advice....

    Do you give such advise in the rooms??

    I can only assume YOU do as you have here....

    My doctor disagrees with you..

    Do you claim to know better than he?

    I was under the impression AA and its members did NOT have the right to give such advice????

    Seems you attachment to god has gone to your head godly......

    You are being watched at ALL times......

  • has your doctor ever been high? has he ever been though recovery? has he ever been at the bottom and no one there to help him? NO Then the answer to your questions are Yes I have been thought all of that and more. God bless and forgives

  • So godly,YOU do claim to know better than a trained medical proffessional do you?

    You are also speaking on behalve of AA.

    Amirite?

    As for my resentment in the rooms.Never been please explain yourself.....

    You dont care about who reads your comments.That says a hell of alot about you.....

  • Recovery dickhead you stopped using drugs and what a fucking meal your making of it.....

    Glory hunter.....

  • Are you a health professional, 2p ?

  • Gonzo

    Why do you ask?

  • 2p - just interested is all. been wandering around these pro/anti aa/na channels on here for a few weeks now, seeing what folk think, watching a few vids on both sides of the fence. Man, I tell you, there is some bs out there in recoveryland - but then you know that.

  • You aint kidding gonzo...

    It seems these A/NA people just cant help themselves..

    I think they want an excuse..

    Some of these people drag their recovery out for 15,20 and even 40 years...

    They just dont realise the damage they are doing to society and the people that love them..

    Constant lies...

  • how do you figure that ? some of the aa's/na's I know are pretty cool (wont be swapping body fluids with em, but you know what I mean), and I dont THINK they tell lies ? damage how ?

  • Gonzo

    AA causes alot of problems...

    Deaths etc..

    Not all members are bad but some are AA takes no responsibilty...

    Please give me your opinion on AMUCK14 here....

    He could be sponsering a vunerable person right now..

    My partner attempted suicide because of advice her sponser gave her.We had abbussive and threatening mail from members when she left.The stress was so much she mis carriaged..

    All true my freind..and far from un heard of..

  • Oh and we tried to get the name and contact details for the police but AA wouldnt give us them...

    Go to godless weasils chanel...and watch her video..

    AA really needs to either change or stop..

    Try making a change and all you get is abbuuse and threats read it all here...

    Drinking/addictions is a choice..

    AA lies..

  • hmmm. heavy stuff indeed. surely there are some sick f***s out there, and sadly, aa has no monopoly on em, or on bad advice. hope your partners doing good now - love the polecats too !!

  • The problem is AA prides itself on being a "recovery programme"

    Yet takes no responsibilty...

    You cannot compare it with "normal"life...

    So unless AA and its members take responsibilty its got to stop..

    Our story is very far from unique...

    AA members are claiming here on YT they know better than doctors...

    These statements kill vunerable people..

    Yet no one in AA will do anything,not even listen..

  • i hear you loud and clear - an aa charter, making folk take responsibility for their advice, or whatever they choose to call it, accountable at law and actionable on BOTH sides - right ? is that the way forward ?

  • That would be a start..

    Remember the people who walk through AAs door are vunerable..So the sponsers with their experience if they choose to become sponsers will always be responsible..

    Unless of course you tow AA party line and blame the victims...

    Please read Amuck14 here is that someone who should be giving advice to anybody in a vunerable state of mind?

    I think the programme itself should be taken out as it IS the cause of a lot of harm.

  • well,like i said, theres weird f***s both in and out of aa, but i take your point. i dunno. seems that theres plenty for and as much against ( got a program of sorts myself, but its all mine), but i tell you true, i HATE it when someone uses the aa/na literature as an answer to all ills, and tries to slap someone looking for an answer with aa/na cliche no.126b, like thats gonna keep the poor fucker away from a drink or whatever. Still like my aa/na mates tho.

  • The difference is, in society if someone messes up they are held accountable. If someone does it in a 12 step group, they all close ranks because 'these are sick people'. Its just an excuse for their appalling behaviour.

    I like Jack Trimpey's method, rational recovery.

  • yup, lotsa good stuff there. just a wee bit suspicious of the profit motive tho, and the american - type corporate structure, but thats my issue. BTW, love your ferrets - used to breed em when I was but a lad

  • RR is all free on the internet and you can ring him personally and get advice.

    I couldnt be without my fuzzykids, love 'em!

  • You see this is why you cant be taken remotely seriously. Close ranks? I used to carry a pistol in to meetings when I first showed up. Making damn sure everyone there know that there was consequences if you fucked with me. I carried that everywhere,in fact. So guess what? I was a sick fuck that a sane person might want to avoid. Appalling behaviour, such grandiosity, so animated and over the top. Laughter, sincerity, genuine concern for others, opening up your home and life to somone, APPALLING~

  • Nothing wrong with having mates anywhere.

    Very wrong having un trained and unqualified people giving advice to vunerable people though.Especially if that advice is wrong"diesease"

    or kills "vunerable"people.

    Imagine the kind of sponser muck14 would make?I would say he has caused a lot of harm and deaths...

  • First, in America when one refers to there love interest as My partener, if you dont know better it is naturally assumed its gay partenership and thats fine. 2p you did make mention that in fact it was godless who was in the program. If you were not and are not, your comments on it are completely irrelevant. I dont speak on bi polarism just because I know some bi polar people. So your dismssed. A person keeping the dying from AA, is wicked period. It can do NO HARM to any human.

  • You have a real serious ego problem. If you have no DIRECT exprience of being a dying alcoholic, you really shouldnt comment. We share our EXPIRIENCE, we dont give advice. I would laugh at someone telling me what to do. We just share what we did, not that you should do the same?? I refer to the book, tell them what I might do and wish them luck. If yo you tell someone what to do, you will make a liar out oif them. Cause their gonna do, what their gonna do. There is no TEACHING in AA.

  • So when godless was drinking, and if you were with her, then you would be repsonsible by that logic. AA has a voluntary program that has worked for millions who WORKED THE PROGRAM. Now all this does is provide a stable baseline so that you can begin to address the real problems that make you thirsty. It is not a cure all, and the book talk in length about outside help of many different forms.

  • Godly

    I have only been a member of AA for just over a week.

    Why are you so angry?

    How long have you been a member?

    Have you had any relapses?

    Have you got a sponser?

    You need one I think...

  • Hey weasel, nice try!~

  • Who you calling a weasel, fuck-face?

  • Of course you may just be being bitchy and intimidating by your remarks...

    I am sure God doesnt like that kinda imperfection in his ass kissers.....

    "You are sick and need help"

    Is it a medical opinion YOU are giving as a member of AA?

    Or

    a bitchy comment with the intent to hurt???

    Your comments are being recorded.

    You are being watched.......

  • by the way I am a member of NA. my comments are intended for you to stop being silly and for you to give over the resentment that you have created from the rooms. by the way I don't care who is watching my comments. This isn't anything that I would say to your face. Or in front of God

  • thanks mate...my name is Chris and I'm an addict from Poland..I hope see you in Barcelona...

  • I wish I was going to be there but won't be able to make it But the one in San Antonio was awesome

  • Te Clean time date is a Birthdayof a new person been reborn spiritually a decision to walk away from an old life to live a new way. We don't want to forget about the past , it reminds us of what and where we do not want to to return to. NA is Spritual non-religious program helping people get and stay free from the use of drugs people sharing the past with those just coming into the program to show Identification and also sharing the hard times and the triumphs of a new life without grugs

  • This Is NA not AA and we deal with the Disease of addiction not the substance, as it is only a symtom we also recognize we are no different from any only that we have an incurable disease. We know the th attitude of Uniqueness, hip, and cool are part of the Character defects that we have. NA is NOT a cult but a program of one addict helping another get and stay clean and free from the use of Drugs and change the attitides and behaviors that lead us to such destructive paths

  • Hi Tommy, I am about to go to my first NA meeting tonight. I have been in rehab 2x an addict of various drugs, mainly opiates and benzos though for many yrs. But I am so glad you cleared that up about the unique, hip, cool, thing. I always felt different from ppl. in AA. Not better, just misunderstood. Anyone who sits around fantasizing about looking hot, cool and sexy drugged out just isn't right....RIGHT? lol Thanks!!!!!!!

  • Hi Tommy, I accidentally posted a text comment above...but wantd to reply...again and say thank you for clearing up the strange addict thinking of "sexy, hip, cool" thinking...thanks!!!!

  • The purpose of the CULT of A.A., is to recruit more gullible sheep in order to HERD said gullible sheep into the Cult. One of the biggest issues with AA is that the people actually think they are "special" cause they are addicted. The environment is a breeding ground for those with the victim mentality.

  • Go to a 12 step program and in no time you will have more personal problems than ever before.

  • WOW, i really loved this,the music hit home with it too.One day at a time if i live to see October 7, I will celebreate 3 years.Thats alright my friend NA rocks,and we can ride in the wind clean. And remember "we must not use no matter what"!!

  • Hey Ron!...my Mom named me Mark and I'm an addict. I'll be getting my one month tag next week! I'm interested in more sites (supportive) sites where us addicts can congregate for fellowship...thought you might have some insight. I'd love to chat anytime man....cheers to the next 24

  • Hey Ron just seen your post. Wanted to say Hi. My name is Aaron I am a recovering alcoholic/addict from Tampa.

  • It is a Choice!

  • Its hard to quit man!

  • Hey, you right. It's hard to quit. Jesus, I did pain a lot to quit. But in one moment of light, I did ask to myself: What is thehardest thing:to quit or still like that? Man, quit still beeing easier than living like a rat. Be strong, ask for help. I PROMISSE YOU WILL BE SURPRISED. I PROMISSE A NEW WAY OF LIVING. I PROMISSE YOU WILL DE PROUD OF YOURSELF. Not alone anymore.

  • I just wanted to say that, Tommyguns, I have seen your videos all over the place and I really like them. I've recently gotten in a place where I am unable to make it to meetings and it is really nice to see a message of hope when I need it. Ah, and to be reminded of why I'm doing this. Thanks.

  • This video is the single most offensive thing that I've seen in my entire life.

    I am reporting this blasphemous filth to youtube...

  • so if i go to narcotics anonymous, theyll give me some harley davidson motorcycles? does na and harley davidson work together? thats cool man! do you get a new bike like, for every year you get sober or something?

  • and your punk ass has no vids, so i take it your a little hype with no balls. correct sir? a fucking little pussy junkie that just likes to be critical?? fucking wanna-be

  • 20 y.o. little know nothing bitch

  • You dont find too many old timers at NA meetings like you would AA meetings.

  • Yeah, why is that?

  • A new way of living vhanging your playgroud and playmates. Then going back to your playgroud and playmates to soread the word of the free coffee offerd.

  • I never use the washroom at meetings. The tension of holding it all in makes my sharing more passionate -- though it can firghten the womanly new comer (in his ruby slippers). Fists & Boots!

  • Thanks for sharing - RECOVERY is the only way to find a NEW WAY TO LIVE LIFE - 22 MONTHS & 23 DAYS CLEAN - it does get easier ONE DAY AT A TIME - JUST FOR TODAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE!!!! A GRATEFUL RECOVERING ADDICT IN MISSION PEAK - CALIFORNIA - DAWN 09-01-2006

  • After 13 years, I've come to the conclusion that it's simply not worth it. Give up now before you waste any more of your time...

  • i am mever going to get drunk of any other pills pot after tonight!

  • Who is Jimmy K ?

  • He is the founder of NA. Welcome, stay.

  • John L with 137 Days. was up friends of Jimmy K

  • I may go back to those meetings because something is not working anymore! I wish it was still fun but that is gone. What ever happened????????? I pray god saints that it will get better

  • Buyer BEWARE! do'nt get a DUI in the state of Texas! They will crucify you! The cow boy cops are in this mental. that they are still in the wild west! They run around with there cowboy atire. Some even still are on horse back! Please do'nt drink or drive or take any pills that make you buzzed. I almost got arrest but I sweet talk this fat cowboy and I was on my way knowing I had taken Viko. And had a 12 pack. I thank the saints in heaven and or god . I want to quit but it is trully hard.

  • Great Video

  • "One is too many and a thousand is never enough" I tied and knot and I'm hoding on but I'm slipping

  • hang in There it does get better

  • first time i'm posting comment here to a recovery friend(hopefully)...by the way i took the na program 4 years ago in bangladesh....i was a multi drug abuser....marijuana..brown sugar...alcohol..charas..raw opium..codinol+promithisin...s­ome other....now lead a better life in australia....being able to quit cigarette two months ago...but quit my job today ..used to work in a kitchen as a cook...so stressful

  • I am going to try this out. I may try AA And the na but whuich one is better? I was told to by a person on a hot line to try a meeting and even offered me a ride to a meeting??And did also mentioned NA He really appeazred to care. I may really try this out but I do not know abouyt 12 steps. What ever theat means. I hope this works because I am tired of talking pills and drink And the craving very powerful and do feel that there is no way out. I hope this works

  • If you try NA, you will probably have your lawn mower stolen.

    If you try AA, you will probably be raped during your fifth step (if you make it that far).

    Lawn mowers can be replaced and arseholes will eventually heal. It's all much of a muchness...

  • I want to MAYBE look into going but is there any in my area.I will say that I may have a slight problems taking pain and what ever makes me high or not to feel. Nothing illagal so that is a good sighn but it seems like I can not stop . Drink helps but when I do that I go to far. I loose memory I really want to get what ever that is but I was told I have to do an "invotory". What is that? And how long does going to NA last? I hope you will give me any info you have. I have NEVER told anyone this!

  • In Na we are group of people coming together to help each other stay clean and live a productive life. The therapeutic value of one addict helping another is without parallel for one addict an best understand another. can I relate? I was a practicing addict for 33 yrs. I have been in an out of NA for 15 yrs. I now have a little under 3 yrs clean. I lived to use and used to live. I didn't know any other way to live. This is not a Cult. It is a group of support and love

  • So Tommyguns4ever. If you believe what you just stated than why were you trying to convince me to use! It doesnt make sense how you were telling me its alright for me to have fun once in a while! I guess it was some big joke!! Dont worry i didnt take your advice because i am stronger than that!!

  • And WHAT is a sponser??? What is the purpose of that? The queston I have is because I will admit I wish I could have that feeling of happieness that people have in there eyes. And not have to be fucked up on not to feel at all! How ever in many cults and you say that this is not people have that is similar. But all I can say I WANT to get things under control. But am tying to have a strong will to do that. It"s a BITCH! Can you relate???

  • What is NA? It is a cult? and how long does it last? Are there anyone that has lost their minds in NA?

  • No It is not a cult It is a program that has worked in the lives of many addict trying to live life without the use of substances. I have not lost my mind in NA I lost it when I was using. Today I am a husband, a Daddy, a business owner and a respected person by those who matter

    I was none of these things when I was using

  • I am sorry if I offended you: However I have heard that in this kind of org. that people go through certain process and one is a kind of "invatory"? and people are told that there is no will power to succeed???? Does that sound like ? I have noticed in the many videos that ader. na that people look very happy. very much so that they either are punch drunk or have a spiritual thing going on. I am very corious about this org. and do have queston about it. I do want to see what this is all about. ?

  • I am too part of the NA fellowship, its better to get busy living than dieing, but never forget to create your own identity as a person and who you are. Live and breath na, or doing service and keeping na in your life for life is two different things! :)

  • Tommy your great man, thanks again. I hope everyone improve their life style anyway possible. We are just one option that have proved it works without any harm to any. Pardon my English I am Mexican gratefully living your program of recovery.

  • By the grace of my higher power and NA I will pick up my 3 year token next month (May 16th)

  • Now that you are 3 years clean, are you a homosexual?

  • FUCK NO!!! I am no Tonsil Jockey Dick Smoker!!

  • Looks like that program is workin' for ya! Keep comin' back! Some of these fags aint so lucky...
