I like the way this guy tells his story and talks about his experience. An observations though, particularly in regards to concepts not implicitly in the book: is the use of rooms instead of halls. In AA we say in the halls, because that's exactly where meetings were able to be held. Out in the open, often in halls. In NA we say rooms, and it is important because the stigma behind drug addicts persisted much longer than that of alcoholic, and addicts weren't able to congregate as freely. As a result they were held in rooms in the back of Halls. Just a little historical significance. Two fellowships, basically similar steps- but two different programs with two different singlenesses of purpose. Its important to keep these clear so that we can be protected form forces internal and external that seek to destroy the fellowships!
Love this guy knows exactly what he is talking about
So very true. 👍
Mmmm
