Club Name : DecadesClean Description : ANYONE IN NA CAN JOIN - THIS GROUP IS PRIVATE TO TRY TO KEEP SPAMMERS OUT and ABUSE WILL NOT BE TOLORATED IN ANY FASHION This is the meeting AFTER the meeting and NOT intended to take away from face to face contact - on the contrary it is to learn about each others lives all over the world so you can get to know people better other than just a hug in a meeting or convention or to find the people you have hugged along the way. If you are a "MEMBER" of Narcotics Anonymous - you are more than welcome to join and as you see I have posted direct links to the profiles or stories of people with "DECADES" Clean so feel free to get to know them in this group or sending messages to them privately and I had to make "Featured Profiles" of addicts with XX clean or more so I dont lose the very people I set this group up to find. I know there are MANY people who have been around for XX+ years too and went back out and are clean again - you are VERY welcome to be here and much appreciated and even if you dont have "all the cleantime" you could have had please share with us your story and I will make a link for that too if you want. I am hoping this group will be like a live History of NA being documented so I ask ALL the “Old Timers” to Please start a new topic with YOUR story so we can ask questions about things that have happened or how you dealt with things. We all would love to hear the stories about the History of members with long amounts of clean time and the History of NA when you got clean and where you were at and how NA has evolved in your area from then. Anyone can start a topic if they choose and maybe we can get some good feedback for you – then again we are only addicts and our opinions may NOT always fit your situation but I am pretty sure nobody will try to steer you in the wrong direction. YOU may not get your story in the new Basic Text but you are MORE than welcome to post it here in a new topic and I will link it to your name and IF you click on someone’s Name that says "STORY" behind it - that will bring you to the thread where their story is posted in this group and if it’s just the Name/cleandate/location - it will bring you to their page on Myspace and the places they have lived sometimes do not reflect all of the places they have moved around to or done service in especially mine since I moved back and forth from place to place several times but the last one will say where they are NOW. If you have XX+ years and you are NOT a "Featured Link" and want to be or if you click on your name and the link isn’t working - (let me know in a personal message if your info on here needs to be modified). This is NOT a race but people are listed here in Chronological order to be easier to find.

NOVA TAPES - NA Tapes from the EARLY 80's CLICK HERE FOR MORE NA SPEAKER TAPES FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED ON to the big meeting in the sky NA ETERNITY GROUP NA ARCHIVES GROUP This is a public forum and an ANONYMOUS PROGRAM SO Please DON’T USE LAST NAMES and DONT Name Names if you are going to TALK BAD about an individual from your past (recent or a long time ago) - Please just use an alias and say it’s an alias and say "a guy, he" or “a girl, lady, she” and NOT terms like "idiot" or other derogatory terms cuz they are NOT here to defend themselves to tell THEIR side of the story and we DONT want flame wars. We ALWAYS need to remember it’s “PRINCIPLES” before "personalities" cuz a few in here may know EXACTLY who you are talking about but this is ALSO about LEARNING TO COPE with shit we go through so everybody can identify with the Moral of YOUR story and if you really want to know who the people they are talking about are – do it privately amongst yourselves. Most relationships we develop in NA are wonderful but some go bad so "as for every scar there is a healing and without that we will just kill each other". PS - The Advertising on here is FROM Myspace and NOT to be cornfused with this group as they have to pay for us to have this "free site" butt you DONT have to click on it unless you choose to at your own risk and NEVER click on things that say "FREE RINGTONES" OR give your password for anything other than to log in or you could be hacked/phished that way.
