  • Circuit speaker Vito L. shares his relatable, and hilarious journey, working steps with an old-timer sponsor, in NA. In this recording, he shares the step by step instructions his sponsor had given him, after getting clean in 1960, while sprinkling in stories important to his recovery, and to Narcotics Anonymous history.
    Born in 1940, he covers a little bit about his background growing up catholic, and in The Bronx. Vito picked up his first drug at the age of four, and was mainlining heroin by ten. He quickly gets into his story of recovery, by describing the first time he went to an NA meeting, after being told of a “drug meeting” in the back of another fellowship.
    In 1964 Rockefeller laws were in place, which made meetings between addicts’ illegal. Therefore, he moved to San Diego where there were two NA meetings. Vito then found a sponsor, and started working the steps. The bulk of this talk is Vito going step by step, and detailing his experience with each of the steps. Enjoy!

    Thanks Vito. GOD speaks to us through each other. I just had back surgery yesterday. I have lost both of my parents within the last two years. I am in love with a selfish dictator of an earthling that has put me through a form of purgatory and hell through "gaslighting". I have questioned my existence and all that I know is true. You moved me to tears when you shared about the power of prayer and the gratitude that came after listening to GOD. Thanks I am eternally GRATEFUL. I hope this somehow finds you. Thank you brother.

    I used to have an audio file from 1989 by Vito. It was just an amazing talk. He is so raw and honest. I am about to listen to this one, but it started me wanting that 1989 version because I listened to it over and over.
