  • Awesome share by David H. with a lot of GREAT recovery material. Very moving, and funny at times too. I really enjoy the enthusiasm he brings in this talk!
    "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

    Wow, thank you for posting this, it's years since I've heard it! This was just my 9th time as a main speaker, and was recorded at CPRCNA 10, Ocean City MD, on March 30, 1996. The first minute or so was cut by the taping guy, but very little was missing. (And yeah, for this Miami boy, the cold was a little shocking; though I have since spoken in Chicago in January, so big deal! )
    This was (and still is) the biggest crowd I'd ever spoken before -- about 3000. I was a bit shaken by that; also, there was a lot of noise from scores of people in the back of the hall, wandering in and out and chattering, which also threw me off a bit. If I would have been a little more experienced and less people-pleasing in my recovery, I'd have told them to either sit down and shut up, or take their noise outside. (Sometimes, you can be too polite!)
    Still clean thank God, 33 years as of 3/21/2018. Grateful.

      Really fantastic Share. I will listen to it several times. I was 5 when this was recorded. Today I’m 5 years clean at 29 years old because of participating in NA. Tomorrow I bury my twin sister who died of an Overdose. My father died the same way 6 years ago. Your share was beautiful. And I thank you.
