NA FOUNDATION GROUP CHRONOLOGY ADDICTIONARY
'it begins with an open mind..'
NA Writing Zone
In the Spirit of those who wrote the NA Basic Text, we welcome all who wish to contribute writing that frees our members and shows a way forward in the darkest of days. Fortunately, addicts thrive on adversity, so we're in great shape although it may not feel that great! As material comes in, we will make a place for it and may have a table of subjects to help readers select subject to read about. It is a fine time to air out questions and misunderstandings. We must become informed together if we plan to stand together. It is a comfort to know where we stand on issues as it becomes socially acceptible to have your own views and beliefs. It is part of what makes us important and unique. I personally believe that all life moves in waves - up and down, then up again. We do not want copyrighted material unless special arrangements are made to protect your rights.
We live in a period of great change. If we are alert and informed, these changes can be for the best. There is no doubt that the better we are informed, the better our choices will be, for ourselves and those we care about. The Program and People of NA enrich us and we grow. As we grow, we become complacent. Just human. Important to maintain surrender and deepen the source of our empowerment. If we let it go to our head, we can slide back to being powerlessness. No great man or great woman is that different from you. They just had their interior together.
NA has been growing since the Basic Text came out. The status of group conscience processing has diminished since professionals took charge. Paid employees are taken more seriously than 12 Step member to the detriment of both. Much is known yet not written. Perhaps it could be similar to teenagers learning to work on cars. Ten or fifteen kids are working on cars together and they begin to talk about the importance of tightening nuts. Most nuts are simply tightened until the nut no longer turns. One of the older kids mentions the variation of tention be Bob the Big Guy and Sammy the Small Guy. There are cases where the degree of tentitiion is so important there is even a special tool with a tension scale. Amends can be so casual they are not even noticed. Tears in the eyes and stop all action means you are more sincere. - Bo S.

Please send us your reactions and responses to the various books displayed on this website. Feel free to copy and share. We have been working for almost two decades on this book. And now we have three more books to work on. It is obvious that our method is sound and includes a wide variety of NA members from all over. We know there are many members who support our work and have already been using the new material for purposes of recovery for quite a few years. There have been many emails thanking us and expressing gratitude and joy for the miracle of writing new material in the time honored NA way!
Of course, there are still many members who have not read the book and think is it somehow out of order for addicts to combine efforts to work a collective 12th Step in this manner. Please send us letters of support by snail or email fit to be displayed on this website. Some members are just freaked out by new writing. They missed out on the 'Book Years' in NA and don't realize we have every right to write. You don't have to get permission from anyone to work your 12th Step. We want to be gentle and loving but firm in our dedication to doing our part to see that the NA message is carried and heard.
Thanks for all your love and support for 'OUR BOOK.'

12 recovery stories - latest addition 7.1.09 Download NA Twenty Plus (view online) Long Clean Time Stories Stories of members with 20 or more years clean. This book may serve several purposes but the one we thought most important for now is the opportunity to define ourselves by members who are actually working the 12 Steps of NA. Too long have we been defined by our nosiest members and relapsing individuals whereas a recovering person is not so loud and they focus on their recovery and helping others. We have plenty of members with long clean time today. Work in progress will be posted on this site. - Ed. | New Book Download The Spirit of NA HOW N.A.

New book to focus on the spirituality found in NA that has worked so tirelessly in the background from our earliest beginnings through the present. Anyone knows that loud people get attention and those members busy working their 12 Steps, living the program and honoring the 12 Traditions are not noisy. But they are the men and women who keep NA alive and make the program worth coming back to! Trouble makers, mis-matchers, are often much more visible and vocal than those who plug in the coffee pots, lay out the literature and stay up last talking about NA with newcomers and other members. So, let's hear it for those who love us as they learn to love themselves.
In Loving Service,
Bo S.

Living Clean Book Pdf
Living Clean: The Journey Continues by Narcotics Anonymous
The book explains the process of not only early recovery ideas and mindset but also the change that addicts go through when realizing that the world and their lives are far from the way it once appeared to them. The book would be understood primarily by addicts seeing as you need experience in this area to fully understand how that is perceived. Stunning someones growth and maturity early in their life and reintroducing reality after many years creates a unique feeling that can be powerful later on in life and normal maturity early in life.Living Clean Book Download
The book is good for those on their journey.
