NA Speaker Billy A. from Boston - Very Funny with a Great Recovery Message - Narcotics Anonymous 

I'm 48 hours from beginning a severe opiate detox the withdrawals are going to be severe wish me luck everyone else suffering out there I love you and you're in my prayers don't give up

This is the first time I have giggled in weeks. This message made me sit up in the bed and turn on the lights. God Bless us All in and out of the rooms.

I'm so blessed! By the grace of God I'm celebrating 15yrs of sobriety, April 11, truly saved my life & gave me a life! I'm now living the dream! God bless us all! :)

Billy A., I thank you for your courage and testimonial. The humor that you have about our addiction to narcotics is inspirational. Yes, we are the ones 🎉 Celebrating our sobriety because WE HAVE LEARNED TO LUAGH AT OIRSELVES. The binges, the blackouts, the bunggles in our lives...; although tragic is something made up of drowning tears but somtimes we look back on those bitter tears, in our older days and we may be able to laugh as our collective simplicity. We are all flawed.😢😅😊

Thanks for the word!

God bless you all who suffer from this disease. You're in my prayers.

Absolutely beautiful thank you for aharing!!!

Congratulations on being clean for 25 years 🎉 🎊🎈 👋👋👋

Thank for the message I can relate with the bathroom and everyone lookin at me

Billy T. a true N/A soldier powerful message...taking heed!!!

Bless those addicts & alcoholics who are in most need of recovery...🙏

I've never been to a meeting so I searched on here and found this one I can't believe how alike all addicts are! I can't say how many times I laughed n nodded my head me too omg!!! Lol this was amazing! I quit the hard drugs (1 year 9 months ago) but I realized when I wanted to quit drinking to lose weight that I can't even go one day without drinking and idk how I'll ever stop or cut down but for the first time I want to live my life not just exist anymore. Thank you for this!

May god be with, proud of you and completely understand. Its 💯 % worth it.

“What the high was..is I was smoking plastic..” I lost it right there. 😂 Absolutely hilarious speaker!

Good Clear message of Narcotics Anonymous...

Give me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference

11 months clean on Nov 3 2022 greatful and blessed

Laughter has a power. l love the humor.

Awesome share

I had gotten clean for a few years back and, I caught a few na meetings in the beginning of my recovery journey, but mostly I worked another program. Even though inside me on a cellular level, I knew I was an addict, I identified as an Alcoholic. Now several years on down the road, some behaviors that I knew were addictive behavior presented themselves in my life. I decided to go back to a NA meeting. I shit you not, one of the shares I heard was my current situation to the letter all except for the relapse. About how they had misidentified for several years, built a life clean, got a family, job, housing, and trust, but ultimately they weren't in the right program and they went back out. I haven't went back out but the story I heard was familiar enough that I decided to switch to the program I belong in, Narcotics Anonymous. I'm in the literature now, hoping to start the steps and find out who I really am. I have hope again. God bless this program and the addicts who still suffer.

Absolutely Powerful !!! Thank you so much..... My name is Megan and I am an Addict....... without humor in this disease we would never be able to laugh at ourselves......again thank you so very much

Such a powerful speaker, I've been scared to start my step work but after hearing that message I have the courage to start. Thank you

LOVE it! "This 2 SHALL pass!"

this is a life or death matter thank you for giving anthony

Thank you for your message 🙏 I hope my damaged brain takes in your message i am still struggling every day, from Scotland here Hx

40:49 I knew my H.P. had pointed me in the rite direction 2 listen 2 this video. This is a spiritual program w/ spiritual principles. The steps R tools 2 aid us on this journey. H: Honesty O: Open mindedness W: Willingness So I'm rite where I need to be & that's on Step 6 "Were entirely ready for God to remove all these defects of character " D.O.C. I'm getting prepared 4 surgery.

I've come a long way, staying clean 1 year 3 months

Billy TY for your message

One of the main reasons I got off of social media was because there was this religious group talking smack about 12 step recovery people. I personally have not been to the meeting in 13 years. Yeah. It was the greatest part of my life from 1986 until 13 years ago. I've been thinking about going back just for the camaraderie and to be somewhere where I actually fit in. But word to the wise never talk smack about 12 step recovery to me. Those people laid down their lives for me in a way the church will never do. it really breaks my heart when churches talked crap about recovery places because they have no idea the depths of the pain is those that finally show up in those rooms. All the things we had to endure from religious people. Turns Out I have the same God that drove me to using drugs. But just a different conception of who he is. But this recovery business it's not about salvation or eternity in heaven it's about saving your damn life and making it about face and beginning to live life to its fullest and no longer being scared of God and healing from all the wounds that religious people brought upon those that finally found recovery. I don't know any of y'all at this meeting or those that may be reading this comment. Yeah. I love you very much and I hope that you don't let the religious man keep you from recovery. And this own conception of God thing everybody has it even the religious people. So my prayer for all of you is that you find God now. those that maintain recovery and are happy joyous and free. It is because they turn their will and their life over to the care of God as they understood him. The smallest amount of faith it gets the ball rolling and then your conception of God will change as the days pass. God is not concerned about your interpretation of him he is only concerned about setting your feet on higher ground so that you can recover from a hopeless disease. Anyways I'm rambling at this point I just hope that if anybody is being affected by a religious person and some religious person is trying to make you feel bad for seeking recovery. Just tune them out because after all it's your ass you're trying to save.

Needed this..

Awesome Billy... I'm going to keep coming back!❤

Hello to my all my fellow NA family 🙏💙

I am reseting my self today. I am an mmj patient. I went and put all else down and don't pick up but today when I run out of mmj I won't visit the mmj doctor or a dispensary any more.

Yes yes

I just want to say thank you because both my parents and my brother and my stepfather going and all I kept doing was constantly getting high do you realize that it wasn't going to bring none of them back I do miss them so much but right now my life is about to change like I said I don't have a sponsor you all my sponsors because as long as I listen to y'all and do what I told me to do and read my book and ask questions on here to get advice and get what I need answered imma do great because God is on my side and he's never letting me go

15 years back off heroin and Colt

dude i absolutely love the recovery community in southern utah :-) it’s absolutely amazing, but wtf where is this meeting at? lol , is it boston? i have never been to a meeting outside of southern utah :-) i would say we average like 25-45 people in our smaller meetings and in our bigger they’ll get as much as 120, but that’s the most :o but the crowd on this video and in a lot of videos on here, when they laugh it sounds like a george carlin show lol xD how many people are in those meetings? :o it must be amazing :-)

I am a addict and I am trying to get clean but it seems like the drug is calling to me I am trying to fight it it's all I can do is stay away from it I want to live a life of being sober any advice to help

LOL

How do I contact this guy?

Congrats Billy Kcb

Is Billy for hire to speak at rehab NA meetings?

Hi, good morning. Is there anyone in the city of Barzin to help me?

I can still remember my QVC addiction period' buy watches' TG I finally lost interest in buying watches, because I was controlling time' when we get clean, the fear of having money still scares us, but some of still do not use' but we do buy shit" atleast I didn't give my money to the dope dealer'over time we grow,we grow from these fears we still have,
