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!

Website - http://www.aaspeaker.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aaspeakerdotcom/ This hilarious Alcoholics Anonymous speaker says she learned to be funny, so it would seem she was supposed to be this way. Jennifer H. shares her lessons in recovery, in a frank manner, with punch-line after punch-line, beginning with the first time she ever drank. The life lessons she learned include not becoming a preschool teacher, if you plan on coming to work hung over every day, and to choose a boyfriend who doesn’t have a car, or a job, so when you drop him off, you can find him later. Eventually, she figures out that she has a problem with driving, and decides to move next door to her new Home-Bar. The tone of her speech changes when sitting on the same bar stool day after day, week after week, year after year, until she developed what she calls, “skid row of the soul.” She found herself in situations, where if she was simply a heavy, or problem drinker, there would be sufficient reason to stop. When after a couple DWI's, her high-priced attorney didn’t have any good news for her, she realizes the price she has paid for her alcoholism, and makes a deal with god in her home group's parking lot.
