Description

JANUARY 27TH 1991 WAS THE DAY I HEARD GOD TELL ME “STOP”!!

ENTERTAINING MANY WITH STAND-UP COMEDY DURING MY ADDICTION WAS NO EASY TASK. THE HORROR’S OF ACTIVE ADDICTION HAD ME AT MY LOWEST POINT OF LIFE. THINGS HAD TO GET BETTER OR DEATH WOULD HAVE BEEN EASYER. SO GIVING UP THE HIGH COST OF LOW LIVING CAME TO ME OVER THE PHONE WHEN A FRIEND TOLD ME OF A MEETING WHERE “PEOPLE LIKE ME” MEET. I WENT YET I WAS VERY STAND-OFFISH. HEARING THE READINGS AND PEOPLE TALKING ABOU ... T A SOLUTION TO THEIR ACCTIVE OR NON-ACCTIVE ADDICTION ISSUES. I SEEN PEOPLE THAT I THOUGHT WERE DEAD FROM MY NEIGHORHOOD, BUT THEY WERE CLEAN FROM DRUGS FOR SOMETIME NOW. THE MAN AT THE PODIUM WAS TELLING MY ACCTIVE ADDICTION STORY “YET” HE SPOKE OF NOT USING DRUGS OR ALCOHOL FOR OVER 5 YEARS. I CONTINUED USING BUT WOULD ONLY GO TO THIS SATURDAY NA MEETING FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. ONE SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MEETING A MAN CAME UP TO ME AND SAID “HELLO” MY NAME IS ROB, YOU NEED A SPONOR AND HERE’S MY NUMBER. I DID KEEP HIS NUMBER BUT DID CALL HIM FOR SOMETIME. I DID CALL HIM ONE NIGHT WHEN I WAS WANTED TO USE BUT I WAS TIRED OF USING, GETTING WHITE KEY TAGS. I WANTED A 30 DAY KEY TAG WITH HONESTY NOT THE DISHONEST TAGS I WOULD GET. ROB LISTENED TO ME FOR OVER AN HOUR, THEN HE TOLD ME TO MEET HIM AT “THE MORNING MEETING DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH 951 PENN AVE. NO MORE FALSE CLEAN TIME KEYTAGS CAME FOR ME, I STARTED BELIEVEING SOMETHING WAS POSSIBLE. I EVEN WENT TO GOING TO MEETING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
