I feel unworthy of this honor that's been given to me because I've only been clean for 9 months, but I'm so excited! I still go to my IOP group for aftercare, plus attend several NA meetings. One of the administrators of IOP has asked me to research Jimmy K and write down everything I learn and present it to the group (about 20-22 people) this Thursday (8/25/05)... I'm very excited, as I've already researched and prepared my assignment. I even found several pictures of Jimmy K in his later years before he died.

Although I am excited about presenting this to the group, I'm also very nervous. I have high anxiety and when I was in junior high and we'd have to present something, I'd studder and mess everything up. So please keep me in your thoughts and/or prayers as I give this presentation Thursday. I've spoken at a church for the youth since I've gotten clean and showed them pictures of drug addicts later in their addiction and gave my life story. I did alright with that, studdered a few times but nothing too bad, so this is my second time speaking before a whole group.

Why I posted this is because I was wondering who else has information on Jimmy K, or even if you don't have information, how grateful are you to him for starting Narcotics Anonymous? What has Narcotics Anonymous or even Alcoholics Anonymous done for you? Dr. Bob and Bill W. did a great thing when they created Alcoholics Anonymous. Who knew two addicts could come up with something that helps keep millions of people clean each day? Fantastic!

Narcotics Anonymous has been God Sent for me. The simple 12 Steps have carried me through so many trials and problems. Now that I've gotten into 12 Steps and the program of NA, I can't imagine my life without it.
