Please visit our website at http://www.naspeakers.org After being called names at school, his mom laid down the realities of being poor, black, and living on the wrong side of the tracks. That day his child-like happiness was robbed, his disease was born, and he knew he wasn’t enough. This Narcotics Anonymous speaker, Ousmane D., gives us a hilarious and inspiring talk about his journey in and out of recovery, and credits NA for giving him a richer, and fuller understanding of a Higher Power. His story is full of humorous antics about his days using, but eventually he found he wasn’t happy with, or without the drugs. After a particularly hard run, he decides to call a treatment center, where he heard the message of recovery through H & I (Hospitals and Institutions). He suggests that once you get out of treatment, you go directly to an NA meeting, sit in the front row, get a sponsor, and get a homegroup. He wraps up his talk with 3 stories – the first is about two men trying to out run a lion; the next about a forest, a gorilla, and a boy; the third about a fox and a lion in a restaurant – each with a recovery related moral. Enjoy!

Ginny Burton was introduced to marijuana at the age of six. She was using meth at age 12, and by 14 she was smoking crack. At 16 she was raped by a man who bought drugs from her mother. By 17 she'd attempted suicide for the first of many times. She got pregnant and the baby’s father was shot and killed. At 21 she started shooting heroin. By 23 she was a hardcore heroin addict. Today, Ginny is a different woman. A graduate of the University of Washington, Ginny wants to change the world. To know Ginny Burton's story is to believe that no soul is irredeemable. To look at her before-and-after pictures is to understand that truly, anything is possible. "My story isn't an accident," she said. "I think it will be used for everybody else. Maybe I can be some kind of Pied Piper, to help people recover their own lives. That's what I care about. There are some days that I wish I could just slip away here, with a garden, and open up a little cafe. But in reality, I know it's my job to continue to create hope."
