im kelly and im an addict. im 36 years old and im also gay. ive known obout na since the late eighties. that was the first time i walked through the doors. i came in with the attitude that people here couldnt possibly understand me and my sexual orientation. needless to say that the only thing that made me different was my disease telling me i was different my disease kept me isolated and feeling that i must be the only homosexual in the world that wanted to get clean. i came to na again eighteen months ago because i was sick and tired of being sick and tired. this time i took the suggestions of other addicts. 90 in 90, get a sponser, start working my steps prayer to a higher power and today i have come to realize that im not the only one with problems of living life on lifes terms were all addicts and need to find the simularities and not focus on what differences we may think we have my disease told me i was different and as a result i almost died in active use . for me i think ill drop the labe of being gay. ill drop the lable of being a man. drop the lable of being whatever. im addict and my name is kelly. thats what i am in the rooms of narcotics anonymous.
