    Q, In reference to the sometimes cotroversal topic of "Did NA begin in NYC or Southern Cali", can any one verify if either organizations ever registered with the govntmt as a non profit under the NA name? If so , who did it first? Im just interested in facts, not looking to cause seperation or negativity.

      Gene H. got clean in NA on March 21, 1962. His story, The Vicious Cycle, was in the Basic Text until the 6th edition. He passed away July 10, 2015, with 53 years clean.

    If you read the early history of alcoholics anonymous still got on his knees that's good help to write chapter 5 you need to give credit Hank Parker's was a big part of getting the big book written Bill Wilson screwed Hank out of his girlfriend Ruth Hawk and any copy right on the big book.

  • @billsimpson8337

    Bill Wilson copyrighted the big book and made money on it . Since that time people have given him credit for writing the big book.

    Glasgow NA fellowship meetings started in St Luke's Church of Scotland in the Calton area in 1989 and sadly the local community relations and the police didn't allow the very first NA meeting to begin and it was another two years in the city centre area know as Charing Cross at paddy Mullen's clinic is where the second roots began and you can say now that the rest is history for the fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous in Glasgow Scotland UK . . there's plenty of work to be done all over the rural areas in Scotland as it's mostly the central belt areas which includes Glasgow and Edinburgh and Aberdeen Dundee which is well established so , hopefully we can grow up and down and in and out everywhere in Scotland . .NA fellowship is well established with in the world wide fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous thankfully

    Was hoping to get some clarity on the whole first, second and third basic test issue that came about. Things being added in last minute that weren't unapproved etc. I'll have to keep digging through the internet! This was a really great presentation though! So gratefully that these people who came before me put the work in to create the program that has changed so many lives, including myself.

    So beautiful, thanks to the founder Jimmy k, for allowing us to share and motivate Na traditions to other recoverying addicts like ourselves. Also for the willingness to not give up on NA when it was about to die. You guys held on and started practicing the step works it self and became role models to other addicts who was washing. I been 30 days clean🙏😔 had to admit to a power grater then myself in step 2. Before I went to step 3, and let the Care of God take control. #Bryantrogers #crackbaby #rehab 🔓🔐

    "An alcoholic has no interest in narcotics." Then takes LSD. Funny how people try to keep that a big secret. Idol worship. Thanks for the great presentation. It's all very accurate with other accounts including the book Miracles Happen.

      The thing that really gets me is the people who literally say that the first hunnertnsixtyfor pages of the bigbook are literally the world of god & can never be changed. Same w/ the 12 & 12, I believe. Which is eventually going to present its own 3rd Tradition problem.
