  • Alan is an AWESOME 12-Step Recovery speaker! He has an entertaining and engaging style and he is really hilarious as he details his adventures in his addiction and recovery! This is a MUST LISTEN for anyone who is clean in a program or who wants to get clean but does not know how. Thank you so much for a wonderful share Alan!
    "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

    I know Alan is probably not looking at this, but he is the man who got through to me last year. I seen him as the main speaker at Clean and Free by the Sea in Ocean Shores Washington. I sat through his speech high and walked out with a desire to stop using.
    I know that I had to do the work to get and stay clean, but it was Alan's message that really opened my eyes. If by chance Alan ever reads this message, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. My clean date is 3-16-14 and last Wednesday I was able to share 18 months clean.

      I just wanted to say that it is possible to be with your partner and be clean if u both really want to do it and be together me and my husband was on heroin and crack for over 9 years and it took a long time and alot of crap to get were we are today and we have been clean for 7 months now with a baby on the way and we got our daughter back so it's definitely possible if you both want this just make the right choices and carry on listening to these NA and when it reopens go to NA and carry on going there coz it works trust me the 12 steps program didn't work for me but as long as IV got my hubby I can do anything please believe in your self take care
