The Humor Of NA Meeting

277 Words2 Pages

The NA meeting had a guest speaker named Adam, the most surprising thing about meeting were candor and humor evoked by the speaker. Adam acknowledged that he has been addicted to drugs for seventeen years, and this behavior started when he was in the 7th grade. Adam was genuinely outspoken and humorously shared being in and out of treatment facilities over 28 times costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The group really identified with the speakers story, and this was exhibited by laughter and comments from the crowd. Actually, I didn’t have any perceived notions about attend NA meeting, my only contention was to better understand this community. The humor of the guest speaker really made me feel comfortable. Adam frankness with

  • Padraig Addiction Recovery Essay

    I will be contacting the following organizations: Fresh Start Ministries, Sunrise Detox, Mind, Body, and Soul Recovery Housing, Orlando Recovery Center, Aspire Health Partners, Horizons Recovery, and New Bridge Recovery and Wellness Center. All of these organizations are based in Orlando so that they would have close proximity to the festival. Also, most of these organizations provide housing for their members recovering from addiction, so they would have easy access to delivering the invitation of attending this film to their patients. I also think that these organizations will cater to a significant portion of my audience since the film advocates for the subject of addiction recovery as we follow Padraig’s journey of creating peace for others while finding peace for himself in recovery from alcoholism. The logline of the film will appeal to this audience since it explicitly mentions his recovery from addiction and how he bases his peacemaking off of a recovery model.

    This presentation made me think about how different my life would be if I was an opium user. I would never have any money because it would all go to my drug habit. I also would not be in anywhere near as healthy as I am currently. I most likely would not be a student of NMH anymore. Most addicts get caught one way or another and I am sure this school would not put up with that.
