World wide recovery network
DESCRIPTION
I started this group for a few different reasons, One was to let people in recovery share no matter how they get their recovery. I was getting tired of one group saying they are the only way.
It started to feel like religion..
It started to feel like religion..
I post many different daily readings. Pick yours and read it
Here is a place of all the different groups of recovery, and to share the other things we have in our tool box like Men's awareness groups counseling and spiritual practices and secular ways to be free of addiction.
No one has the answer to recovery for anyone else it is such a personal journey and we have to respect and and share what has worked for us. the other reason is to form a community to share recovery events and clean time and sober birthday's
and the last is to put a voice and a picture to recovery in motion. Many of us get recovery and blend back into society and then we only hear the negative news when someone relapses and gets arrested or dies from the disease. I want to hear about what is new and good in your life. It gives me inspiration and helps me in my recovery and I hope in yours also.

We Do Recover!
“….the time has come when that tired old lie, ‘Once an addict, always an addict,’ will no longer be tolerated by either society or the addict himself. We do recover.”
Basic Text, p.86
From time to time, we hear speakers share that they don’t really understand spiritual principles yet. They tell us that if we knew what went on in their minds, we’d be amazed at how insane they still are. They tell us that the longer they’re clean, the less they know about anything. In the next breath, these same speakers tell us about the profound changes recovery has made in their lives. They have moved from complete despair to unfailing hope, from uncontrollable drug use to total abstinence, from chronic unmanageability to responsibility through working the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous. Which story is true? Do we or don’t we recover?
We may think we demonstrate humility or gratitude by underplaying the change that recovery has brought to our lives. True, we do injustice to the program when we take credit for this miracle ourselves. But we do an equal injustice-to ourselves and to those we share with-when we don’t acknowledge this miracle’s magnitude.
We do recover. If we have trouble seeing the miracle of recovery, we’d better look again. Recovery is alive and at work in Narcotics Anonymous-in our old-timers, in the newcomers flooding our meetings, and most of all in ourselves. All we have to do is open our eyes.
Just for today: I will acknowledge the miracle of my recovery and be grateful that I’ve found it.
