Narcotics Anonymous - John

Thursday, 28 February 2019 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm

John grew up in a pretty normal family but got into alcohol and dope in his early teens, hating the taste but loving the effect alcohol had in helping to fit in.  He was in youth detention but it wasn’t till he was in and out of the adult justice system that he got a taste for heroin, then speed and amphetamines.  John went through rehab many times and found out about Narcotics Anonymous but didn’t really take recovery seriously until after he had been clean for a couple of years and was a single parent to two boys.  During his last relapse, when the drugs no longer had the desired effect, he decided to give NA a proper go. Even with an unexpected stint in prison John didn’t relapse as he’d finally lost the obsession with drugs and has now been clean for 12 years and 7 months.

If you have a problem with drugs of any kind, you can call the Narcotics Anonymous helpline on 1300 652 820 or 0488 811 247 or go online at na.org.au.
