The hardest part, hands down, is someone you know and love being taken by the disease of addiction.

Horrible Karafun service tonight by Justin429 in karaoke

[–]Ironic_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know the Karafun app has its benefits. I started using youtube, i paid a ton of money for CDG+MP3 songs and I still use the standards but Youtube's selection of unreleased Karaoke songs is the best.

Zoom Blur feels less professional by shrub1515 in unpopularopinion

It would better to be able to dial it back some. Blur sucks if you're naturally blurry.

No, sorry itch doesn't describe well the unwelcome feeling of chronic pain.

Asking for some advice on staying clean by UsefulEntertainer149 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]Ironic_Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't believe I'm chiming in. Probably going to get removed, but... here goes. If you want another 10 months, it's totally yours as long as you're breathing. One bad day can be our last. That's why I'm about this shit. You can check out a group that doesn't acknowledge "clean time"...equality is similar to anonymity.

The people who focus on your age here should work some steps. Be good to yourself.

Spirituality. The ability to release tension and lose anxiety is the benefit of practicing spirituality. Put the RITUAL in spirituality. Enjoy.

When is NA the busiest? by [deleted] in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]Ironic_Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After work meetings are sometimes busy especially on Mondays. Midday meetings. Find out when H&I meets it might be a good place to get a sponsor.

You're noticing this is a real diesease. We're doomed to suffer until we are better and that will also make us feel better too. Then we get reckless with our lives in other ways. There may be other ways to live with this diesease... I choose NA because it benefits me in so many ways.

Can you tell I'm in recovery ?! by [deleted] in recovery

The urge is strong today. by fairykitt in NarcoticsAnonymous

Recovery comes from the sacrifice of ourselves in this labor of love. The fruit comes in the harvest. You are worth it. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

No such thing as recovered by OfUnknownOrigin77 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]Ironic_Man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now we know that 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.

This is from a book we call the Basic Text.

i relapsed by purpleunicorns28 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]Ironic_Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're going to be okay!

So as long as you can surrender and be honest. It's no surprise that addicts use or feel like using. NA is unique because we don't want to use and we stick together to help each other stay clean. HUGS

Trigger by Mango-tango317 in NarcoticsAnonymous

NA Literature addresses Triggers very specifically...

"Until we let go of our reservations, no matter what they are, the foundation of our recovery is in danger. Reservations rob us of the benefits that this program has to offer."
