hey there i have 41 days clean and i am getting asked to be the speaker at meetings. i don't mind but i feel guilty becausei don't have much time but people say they like my message. is it wrong
Id say from my experience that when asked we must share !!!
Thats the heartbeat of NA,,, one addict sharing and helping with another.
most important I try to remember that this is a just for today Program,,, and all of us are equeal in recovery !!
Just cause ive 18 years odd clean dosent mean I have no message to get from a newer member !!!!
An olde proverb says
'MAY NOBLE THOUGHTS COME TO ME FROM ALL DIRECTIONS"
i try to use this Principle conciously as it is another way of stating the NA Principle of Open Mindedness !!!
Remember that sharing and acring the NA Way is the very basic of the Program !!
Many newcomers are shy cause they feel thay havent got "enough"
Ther will never be enough for us addicts,,, but in recovery we learn that when i share honestly,, someone will identify and will get a message of recovery,,, Just for today !!
thanks for letting me share my thoughts and experience !!
hugs on the cyber space
raman an addict
clean and serene jusr for today !!!
