SPEAKERS,SPONSORS,AND ANGELS


I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS FOR ME TO GET TO A MEETING,BECAUSE OF MY OWN RESISTANCE AND COMPLACENCY.I THEN THOUGHT ABOUT PEOPLE I'VE SEEN THAT HAVE BEEN SPEAKERS OR RUN MEETINGS,OR TAKE ON EVEN MORE RESPONSIBILITY IN THE OVERALL STRUCTURE AND "GOVERNMENT" OF NA OR AA.THEY DEVOTE SO MUCH OF THEMSELVES TO RECOVERY.IT IS LIKE THEY ARE ANGELS,BECAUSE THEY MAKE SO MUCH AVAILABLE TO OTHERS BECAUSE OF THIER DEVOTION AND SOBRIETY.I DONT KNOW HOW THEY DO IT.

sad part is that many do so at the cost of other areas of recovery,,, thereby denying themselves completeness in recovery !!!


Under guidance from my sponsor of then,,, the first 5 years of my recovery was only meetings and service !!


Though i wanted to continue that way for the rest of my life,,,i was gently encouraged to live other areas of life too !!!


Im gald,,,,,


one look at the NA medallion and i know what i need to do to be a complete human being,,,


devoid of impulsive thinking and compulsive action !!!


all said and done i still need to go back and be there for the newcomer as well as do my part in NA Service !!!


But like you say,,, i cannot imagine what would happen to our wonderful Felowship if those ANGELS arent there !!


God Bless those addicts wherever they may be ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!!

RE: SPEAKERS,SPONSORS,AND ANGELS


As time goes by confidence builds and we get over the little things that held us back from socializing and being with others

This last year I was doing alot of
thinking about H&I work I knew what i needed to do but got lazy and I payed the price I needed
.to give it away and did'.nt I wont make the same mistake again.....................

ps........two of those speakers have been my sponsors.one died in 99.the other still is.they have taught me the history of na,because they were both instamental in building it and not having to live in denial in other places that werent designed for addicts. glad this place is here for addics like me.

I hear this day that an old times with 30 years died of lung cancer !!!


He wasnt even a smoker anymore !!!


He was my first sponsor !!!


Man that guy gave much energy to NA Service !!!


Once when i asked him what he expected me to do in return for his help to me he simply said


"""""I DONT WANT NOTHING IN RETURN,,, JUST MAKE SURE YOU PASS IT ON TO ANOTHER ADDICT THAT STILL SUFFERS !!""""
