- 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 was at clean and free by the sea i love that event. i like the morning saturday speaker anthony f
Joseph Muhamet are you still with us Joseph?
Joseph Muhamet how are you today my friend?? Is recovery and the program still a main part of your life?
Randy Martin has he ever answered your question?? It would have been nice to hear that he’s still going strong..
@@DavidCooper-dm9cz I agree, but the point is he can never unhear this messege. it will reach him when he is ready now. The work was done. Cheers all, just for today.
The applause after "Three days clean" made tearful and wanting to weep.
Love conquers fear. That's huge to love on that guy with three days clean
God is great
Hello it's Alan.A..
My name is William I'm a addict question 15 step 2 in the step working guide. I've been a NA member since 2005 , and one day at a time I'm headed towards my first time of having 4 years clean on 3/3/2024 , @@Alan-pz6xp
Wow me too 🥲
Grateful for this sharing! I am 3y 4m and a couple of days clean, working the 3rd step and i feel lost, hopeless and without strenght...
Just for today i came to listen so maybe tomorrow i believe
When you are at your lowest point and you know you are a empty shell of a person and you can walk in to a room where there are people who will call you friend, that want to help, you have found a very special place. I am grateful to God and NA. Today is day one, again.
Try as many times as it takes man, you are not alone!
You are legendary
Web Gib… how are you doing?
Yo how's it going
@@christynoel343 hey christy noel I guess you probably Irish correct me if I am wrong. How are you doing. Have you got clean time? I am Irish and kind of in a strange place right now just trying to connect with people with experience that have some time
I've listened to this for less than 5 minutes and I'm already getting goose bumps from the amount of support for someone 3 days clean. 😭😭😭 How beautiful. 💜
Hello..
thank you Alan, you made my F-ing day. 27 yrs clean in a funk, til I heard you today. Back at the work. thank you.
Thank you I have 18 years clean
Dear God- please bring me Day One, as painlessly as possible….
It's the pain that gets us here,how are you doing.i used to pray the same prayer, but now I am grateful that the pain became so great i had to capitulate and follow orders, I became humble enough to change. The pain was in my throat and I hated it, but today it's that that saves me. Keep coming back.
My name is Samantha and my husband's name is Paul we was on heroin and crack for 9 years in out of rehabs and prisons one was clean the other wasn't but we had decided to get clean together last year and it was the most hardest thing we have ever done but now we have been clean for 7 months now together with a baby on the way and our daughter back and all I will say it's possible to do it but only if you really want to do it then you will be clean and we have never been happier.
KEEP GOING. I'm inspired by ur story
Wow I fully am speechless I have had goosebumps 10 times through this whole share. I wish I could meet this addict. Loved the passing of the coffee cup 😍
Hello. It's Alan A...
...Superb !!! Thanks for sharing...#StayStrongMan
Great speaker!
Thank you. Alan A
Amazing story!!!
3 days clean and he up and walking BEAST
Hope you are doing okay today 😊
I'm in drugcourt fresh outta jail and I believe humor is a great asset in a speaker with honesty...his story is relatable addiction is a constant battle we Have a hard battle in the world by of the coping decisions we used but there is always falling but never failing bc failure is only human it's rebuilding your entire self and that is a struggle when u lost yourself
Excellent, thank you for sharing!

Fkn awesome I always enjoy hearing someone crazier than me , but surviving the hell and with some humor and seriousness ! Fkn awesome.At 47 I've spent 3o years on dope all kinds mostly meth but addicted to everufhing, grew up around bikers and partying and playing guitar are all I've known oh and lots of women! Another adiction ! Any way I'm 3 weeks clean again and have some serious health issues and 3 kids who need there dad especially since I've been a 50% dad all there lives! Thanks Allen!!!!!

Hello. It's Alan A
Love it Thanks for the message for hope 😀💜
Thank you , I appreciate you.
Love to you.
I needed to hear this today.
Thank You!!!!!!
Yw..AlanA
It’s so good to be here
So needes to hear this i relapsed meeting my partner but we,ve now understood we have to have our separate recovery in order to ever have a future if it doesnt come first then our disease will take everything from us
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
Thanks Alan for sharing

LOVE YOU Allen hope to meet you one day
Hello. It's Alan A
One day at a time anyone can make it. I'm sick and suffering. I'm so tired of the rat race. I don't feel good these days because I relapsed. I've got about 10 days sober now. The anxiety that I feel is tremendous. I know alcohol isn't the answer. Fear can be deadly. My only release is in going to AA meetings.
Keep coming back hope your still going to the meetings
You can do this.
Please don't isolate. You're not alone. Love you!
We’re here for you. Never alone never again!
I have been sober since I posted this. AA saved my life.
Thank you for sharing your experience strength and hope
Thank you Alan.
im grateful for you my friend.
Where u from?
So Good!
Thankyou
I can really relate with his story
I can relate to his story
I like that he is drug specific
I want to get clean so bad i hate the sickness of addiction
Likewise, I have tried NA/AA before but after listening to several of these speakers I'm about to give it another shot. I'm so over using. There is nothing but misery & shame when I use now.
Don't leave 5 minutes before the miracle happens! Relapse was part of my story too. But my HP is Patient and merciful. Keep coming back! You're not alone! Love you guys
Strength n Love
Inspiring. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing
I got hours right now and I right back at it thank you Lord for the fellowship of narcotics anonymous
