First NA speaker I ever heard online. Made me laugh out loud! I've listened to Ousmane's amazing NA message at least a dozen times. Got clean on 7-11-19. Life is soooo good! NA works.
I thank GOD for this convention because I couldn't get a meeting online during the corona virus but u tube was helpful inn 7mons clean and I didn't find it necessary to use
I pray you keep coming back, "More Will be Revealed". Get a Sponsor and use the sponsor. Get a Home group, get connected with the 'WE" of the program. It works 😊
Met him when I had 6 months clean in buffalo New York . He spoke at The Morning After .I you talk to him tell him I said thank you! Today we've been clean 21 years!
His message covers all aspects of the disease with of addiction but the way he used the cartoon characters in true light is amazing and then being able to relate and see the disease is profound to me. I've played this one about 10 times already.
It's not a fkn disease we just like being high more than we like being sober. Not a disease my man I willingly choose to be high cuz Id kill myself if I wasn't. I'm just fkd up in the head not diseased
@@thagodwecreate5179 you're wrong..You weren't born like that, you need help, you can't get clean without it. I love being high, but I also want to live, so I chose Life.
Hi I came across this share and it gave me Hope that I can recover as well please please can someone pray for me, I am struggling as I have 2 creep back, with my white chip Again 😢I really want sobriety so much I can only get through the just for today.I enjoyed this share and I'm so glad I listened to all of it, thank you for posting this it is from yrs ago but its still so relevant in 2024,❤
Very great full for the ability to hear some recovery when I need it the most. I played this speaker today while waiting for a ride to give up . I have 86days clean. God bless and thanks
Oh man I relate to this SO MUCH! I'm the "first of my kind" in my family. When he said that I felt it deeply. And my family thinking what the fuck is wrong with you?! Lol. 10000% relatable
This what makes being in recovery beautiful I'm understanding what it means to be in recovery there will b days that may not look good but u keep pressing & putting God 1st🙏💪
The first time I talked to him, I heard him share about two times but never talk to him one on one. I was at a Convention in Hilton Head SC and Ousmane was the banquet speaker after the banquet was over a friend of mine said Ousmane was looking for me. I was like Ousmane was looking for me. I didn't know him, he had just finished carry our message and it was a powerful message. I had about 2 years. Not going to go into what we talked about but was really surprise at that time. That my experience with Ousmane and 8 years later I'm still here.
Thank you Brother Ousmane this was surreal and funny. You opened my eyes to The Gift of Recovery in so many ways. You told ALL ON THE DIS EASE OF ADDICTION. 😅💜👏🏾🤗
The part when he says, "That is when the Disease was Born!" I never thought of it that way. I am working on the Courage to complete my 4th Step and I now can say, I know when it happened. I went from being carefree to guilt-ridden with shame at 8 years old. Wow!!
I didn't understand either but listening to this share helped me to realise I think either my dna or my childhood from primary 1 racism was something I lived with every day and even accepted, as the teachers were even sometimes the worst abusers,at home it was my dad and mum arguing he was a bad drunk, as a child tho it fades as my dad eventually joined AA he made up for this by staying sober for 7yrs before passing away far 2young from a brain tumor i thank the fellowship for helping our family yrs later its me that needs the fellowship of NA ,i ask for the courage that my dad showed i pray for strength now to do this, 😢
My name is just an addict I’ve spent 28 years in prison and have never owned a cell phone I’m on my 6th day in a federal halfway house and my disease is attempting to trick me in an insidious manner my spirit is frowning and I don’t want my recovery to slide into active addiction I couldn’t get my cell phone to open the meeting on zoom I did figure out Bohemia to get this speaker on you tu be and my spirit is smiling I did not just scratch the surface I’ve shot dope in the yard in sing sing copped on Lexington ave shot coke in trailers in Phoenix and shot dope in my neck as a prisoner in two super maxes thank you for saving me this second I’m grateful for finding this speaker and my recovery in the hallway in this building on my first cell phone I’m just an addict
Thank you for sharing! This definitely was something I needed to hear. Making it to Attic Heaven is a great feeling Thank you GOD for all your Grace and Mercy💖💖💖
"Humility is a vital part of dis process and they described it as not me thinking less of myself, but thinking of myself less" Ousman na speaker, love thar line.
I so needed this testimony this morning. Powerful message received in depth and weight. Forever grateful for these messages and testimonials with humor. His analogies of events are hysterical and simple at the same time. Thanks for sharing🎉
This was such a great illustration of how baffling this disease can be and how r minds can nurture a twisted perception of reality from such a yung age..thank Ouseman for being apart of my recovery. P.S...eat the chicken and spit out da bones
Praise our eternal Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, all the time. God is good all the time. Psalms 23, 34 and 91 are all good for turning your will and your life over to the care of God.

Brilliant.....stay strong warriors
Thanks to this program im clean 11 years and a half thanku god
I remember first hearing Qusmane (I believe he went by another name then) 18 years ago when I first fell into the rooms. A strong, powerful message.
My discord recovery group just posted this on discord as one of our nightly videos. Excited for this because this is my 2 night of detox.
How do I join? Just download app or something? I need help
Strong, powerful & invigorating. Thanks for the great talk

True. Na is only way for me
