Description:
Jimmy K (RIP) Clean Anniversary - Homegrou: NA Worldwide Fellowship - Clean Date February 2nd, 1950
To my dear friend --
If I have my facts straight, it was exactly 60 years ago today Jimmy Kinnon got clean in Alcoholics Anonymous. Without his efforts, and those of many others, Narcotics Anonymous as we know it today would likely not exist. I never met Jimmy, but singing his praises is not really my point anyway.
The fellowship that was born from Jimmy's vision has become an absolute lifeline for so many of us. It has saved our physical lives and set out guideposts that lead us on an awesome spiritual journey when we follow them. It is our support network, our social club and our refuge from the storms of life and the storms of our minds. NA was there for me when I was in the worst trouble I had ever known, and it has been there for time after time after time since then. The fellowship is made up of people -- no one person can consistently provide for the needs of others, but together -- as NA -- we can and do every single day.
It is through NA that my relationship with G_d has become such an important part of my life. My emotional and physical health is nurtured daily. My deepest friendships are with fellow NA members. All my other relationships would be impossible without the spiritual, mental and emotional "nourishment" I get in NA. My children -- who bring me so much joy and sense of purpose -- would not ever have been born without Narcotics Anonymous. And you and I -- we would almost definitely never have met.
So today I remember and am grateful to Jimmy K. But from a broader perspective I am grateful to G_d for what He has done and is doing in my life right now --- and I recognize the massive role that Narcotics Anonymous plays in that process. I thank G_d for the open, warm and inviting atmosphere that greeted me when I found my way to Narcotics Anonymous and for the opportunity to help create that atmosphere for others. I thank G_d for every part of my life today -- for the bitter and for the sweet -- and I thank Him for you. May we remember -- at least for a moment every now and again -- not to take each other for granted.
Feel free to pass this message on.
