- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- 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

Just seeing this message 4yrs later...I PRAY YOU'RE STILL HERE AND STILL CLEAN🙌🏾...
I have been clean since 10/31/2003 and still struggling with my lifestyle I been doing Bible Study reading the bible now nine years yes married whom don't care or support on my sobriety always stopping me from living clean❤
Proud of you 👍
This one is powerful! 101 days in already seeing major change in the human I am. God bless all of you and the program that saved my life
Glad you made it to the rooms of NA!

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.
Hey German , how are you doing these days?
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
Hey I'm Reggie G. How's it going. Just for today.
I can hear this message over n over 💜💜💜
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.
I am 9 years clean today. Thank God and the program of narcotics anonymous

By the grace of my own GOD, there goes I. My name is Jan and I am a recovering addict going 18 months.
One thing I got to say is that I've been in and out of this too long been on the streets got high destroyed my life my family life my father was an alcoholic he died as one three of my cousins drugs hepatitis and they and I'm still here I just want somebody to be a sponsor to me and just help me through what I'm going through I don't go to the meetings no more I just want somebody to keep me focused I'm going to keep going to my Dr therapist take my meds listen to the speakers deal with the cleaning people that's all I need right now because every time I get around certain people and I'm staying with my church people thank you so much for all of you different people speaking cuz you're helping me out God bless
Well done sincerely, it's a hard road .keep doing it.
How’s it going
Raymond is the best. Love that man can’t wait for him come speak for my group next Friday
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!
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.
Just starting listening to the speakers online and I am going to continue. I want to live a life FREE of drugs!!
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. :)

I have 5 days. Clean October 27,2021.your telling my story I've been trying for 30 years I'm 55 years old I almost. Died.! !my name is SHARON C
Awesome A clear NA message, We Do Recover ❤👍🙏
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.
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.
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.
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🙏
3 ks clean. right on read all the books
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!!
Sounds like Pastor Ray. Love that dude. What a powerful message of recovery. GOD bless!
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.
Vegas girl clean af here too ❤women do recover
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.
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. :)
thanks for sharing ime proud too be a NA member and happy to be clean almost 7 months
Rotterdam 1992 nog steeds clean in na?
So where are you now?
it's been 3 years later
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.
I LOVE YOU RAYMOND.. YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME I DONT PUT NO ONE ON DA PEDESTAL EXCEPT GOD. BUT GOD IS USING YOU IN A TREMENDOUS WAY. YOU EMBRACED ME AND SHOWED ME THE WAY.. THANK YOU.. BROOOKLYN!!
Thank you Raymond for your shared!! You truly inspired me to continue this journey, and not be a punk!!
My name is Michael and I'm a recovering addict pray for me
