I’m grateful I was asked to speak at the Nar-anon convention as the NA speaker. I pushed through my fears and did it. It was received well! Beyond well. It was the most humbling and beautiful experience I’ve had this year. Maybe in my recovery. They called me the “hope” because I’m an addict in recovery. Around 40 people hugged me afterwards. They were crying. They were laughing. A large portion of my NA home group was there and I didn’t realize it until the middle of the share. I started crying.
I want to do it again. I want to share again. This time at the NA convention itself. I love Nar-anon though and look forward to exploring it more. So many people stopped me in the halls during it. And hugged me. And said thank you. It was healing for me. In ways I don’t understand yet. My home group supported me. I love recovery so much. I’m forever grateful I got my act together and now I’m okay.
