"Addicts today are much more fortunate"
Outstanding, just to let you guys know that there is now an NA meeting in Paisley where Jimmy was born. Full circle.

This is great! Share this with every member!

Grateful recovered addict x

😊
Thank you for putting all this interesting information together.
You could always ask Vito for more info about Rae
Vito just shared at our convention!! One of the greatest shares myself and everyone else ever heard. He’s such a badass!!!
The information here was a blessing for me, i am searching on our similarities and connecting with people. This truly has helped me understand why it has been difficult. Great information!!
Chris did a great job going solo at PACNA this year
first of all great job i love what youve done here i saw this presented in chicago at the regional convention in jan 2019 but im wondering what about the basic text / literature history presentation that i saw as well in chicago ,....... why isnt it posted ?
Thanks Kevin. This is Boyd Pickard. Chris and I will be having "A History of the Basic Text " PowerPoint recorded that the end of September 2019. It should be ready for publishing on You Tube first of 2020. Thanks for asking.
Wow, what a great presentation
So beautiful, thanks to the founder Jimmy k, for allowing us to share and motivate Na traditions to other recoverying addicts like ourselves. Also for the willingness to not give up on NA when it was about to die. You guys held on and started practicing the step works it self and became role models to other addicts who was washing. I been 30 days clean🙏😔 had to admit to a power grater then myself in step 2. Before I went to step 3, and let the Care of God take control. #Bryantrogers #crackbaby #rehab 🔓🔐
"An alcoholic has no interest in narcotics." Then takes LSD. Funny how people try to keep that a big secret. Idol worship.
Thanks for the great presentation. It's all very accurate with other accounts including the book Miracles Happen.
Alcohol is a Narcotic lol
The thing that really gets me is the people who literally say that the first hunnertnsixtyfor pages of the bigbook are literally the world of god & can never be changed. Same w/ the 12 & 12, I believe. Which is eventually going to present its own 3rd Tradition problem.
"An alcoholic has no interest in narcotics" Iv'e never heard that before, where's that from?
So what if he took LSD. I'm a recovering addict. I'm grateful to Bill W.
Are they trying to be joe and Charly?
Are there any tapes of Danny C speaking?
We have not found any audio or video of Danny C. We recently found audio of Dorothy Berry speaking about him in a 1970 interview. This shows that more may be discovered as more archives are digitized. www.wnyc.org/story/salvation-army-approach-to-the-narcotics-problem/
1984…The tape. Gene H was being interviewed by Jimmy. Who was Gene H? Can you please provide some information. I heard he was a great guy!
Gene H. got clean in NA on March 21, 1962. His story, The Vicious Cycle, was in the Basic Text until the 6th edition. He passed away July 10, 2015, with 53 years clean.
Happy Anniversary NA
was here, unless my brain snaps back , just had my first biologiccal impairment from medicine most likely, dont have frendz , get unComfortably close with family., aattending for 8 yrz........
Bill Wilson copyrighted the big book and made money on it . Since that time people have given him credit for writing the big book.
HISTORY 😂🎉😂🎉DRUGS R HERE BECAUSE PEOPLE USE THEM😂🎉😂🎉😂
Bill Wilson isn't the angel we thank him to be
If you read the early history of alcoholics anonymous still got on his knees that's good help to write chapter 5 you need to give credit Hank Parker's was a big part of getting the big book written Bill Wilson screwed Hank out of his girlfriend Ruth Hawk and any copy right on the big book.
2 Listeners.....Get the book "God Calling" by AJ Russell. This was the premise for A/A 24 hrs a day book. This book was written by 2 anonymous women, the word is , Christ himself spoke to these women 1 day at a time and they wrote each days parable down.......
This is a very good video 100 everybody should watch it but keep in mind Wilson was a womanizer with a big ego like all of us he always kept signing things Bill Wilson 0 the rest of us must be anonymous but not bill
