- Frank S. is one of the best NA speaker tapes out there. One of the things that makes this talk great is that it carries a message of so much HOPE. He relates the "Just For Today" message in a clear and engaging way and reminds all of us that every day clean, is another day that we can mark down in the win column. GREAT TALK! :)
Almost fifteen months of sobriety and I am going to praise God and be in the desire to do the next right thing, stay strong fellowship
Thank you so much for posting this. Frank was my best friend. We were there for each other from day 1. We walked each other down the aisle when we each got married. His was the shoulder I cried on when I got divorced. He supported my recovery via phone when I moved to South America and later Asia to help start NA meetings overseas. I was there for him when he moved to Arizona. I was living in Asia when he died and it broke my heart not to have been there for him at the end. I was missing him today, so I googled to see if anyone had posted a taped about him and here he was.
Thank you for giving me the gift of his recovery once again.
Sharing Hugs of gratitude with you!
do you have any speaker tapes? it is only part of it, before he got clean. would love to hear the rest of it. or do you know when/where he spoke at? maybe NAWS has in the archives?
I remember he did speak at one of the early Greater NY Regional Conventions. I will be going to my storage locker to store stuff July 4th weekend so I will check my Convention programming documents since I was the chair/vice chair & member for many years on that committee. My documents will also tell me who the recording vendor is. I know that vendor is still in business so we will be able to get a copy. Thanks for the nudge! You'll here back from me at that time.
Heaven's Gate Please share more if you can! What happened to him? I don't need specifics, I just want to know if he was able to pass away clean?! I apologize if that is too personal a question, but
I have never, ever been so moved by ANY speaker. This man is amazing, and I would love to hear more!
he was my beloved for many, many years. in new york and then in phoenix for many years. he passed away on may 8, 2002, clean, not alone, loved and cared for deeply. i miss him every day, even 15 years later. i have no digital recordings of him, and finding this is a gift from him from beyond. xoxo
Powerful
I loved this speaker I loved his honesty his vulnerability his struggles his hope his whole sobriety reminds me "no matter how far down the scale we have gone"
God bless you. Thos is great. I grew up in the South Bronx in the 60s and my life was so hard. I am now clean after 42 years of Drug Addiction . NA is the best. 😀😀
Another day clean. I am so grateful to my HP and this tape. We do recover! Telling thr truth to an addict is our cryptonite. When we tell the truth and work the steps our lives change. I believe in you. Keep coming back! I am sitting here with 1 year and 3 months and 3 days clean.
Been having a rough time lately and I'm Listening to this while at work. Franks message gives me hope this morning
Need more words from Frank
I’m listening at work as well 💕
Omg u took the work right out of my mouth ......1hr clean taking it one second at a time
Yes know wat u mean bud im strung out and depressed sick of been sick and have Ing a rough time, but tis talker gives me hope..:-)qq
I love this share.. I'm sitting in London waiting for a train, 😢...not in a good place but full of Hope... thank you 😊...
Today is my 18 years clean of my life thanks NA for that the Frank's message is brilliant
Just got my first honest year clean. Frank reminds me that my story isn't unique. The promise is freedom, the message is that we do recover!
Well done bud be proud of yourself u are out of the demons grasp. I relapsed after 5 months and I'm 41 years old I'm still strung out worst
Ps Even worst um on crack heroin methadone im desperate to be where u are. Im desperate I'm starting a day programme and going into treatment again I'm sick of been sick. Thanks for ur story well done.
@@lewissinclusker7065 I really hope you have found your way to the rooms of NA or some other place of recovery. U can do this. You just gotta have the desire to stop, and be honest, open minded and willing. Sometimes we may fall, but it is more important and takes courage to come back, & you will always be welcomed back
@@lewissinclusker7065 hope your winning 🙏
i am a grateful person because of you all, i made thru the teenage years because you all in the rooms; where there for me. it didn't matter that i native, Thailand, and what ever else. Knowing that was the only college student struggling with alcohol and heroin , and eating. i had to learn what was the right type of food to eat instead of empty calories of alcohol being a gymnast, cheer coach, just busy, because i couldn't be still in my spirit because i was afraid of being alone, because i was destructive to myself. Not hurting me like self injury or anything, but drugs and alcohol was my painful behavior. i had to learn, just to follow instructions, in the rooms and my sponsor , and after 9 years i finally became a real person worthy of love.
This guy is amazing!!! One of the best leads I've ever heard in life!
this man is so honest. what a gem. xxxxx
2 minutes in and blown away, amazing speaker
Absolutely amazing!!
Sarah Folan ft
0ppppppp
Im 2 minutes in right now, havent heard anything amazing yet are we listening to the same video?
@@ronmexico79 I have never had a reply to a comment I made 5 years ago! However the notification prompted me to listen to the first 2 mins again, and I am still blown away by the speaker describing how he views the dichotomy of light/dark within himself and also his customary note about anniversaries struck a chord with me too. So for me to be able to connect with another humans experience so quickly without being in the same room or even seeing their face just blows me away. I am actually interested to know your thoughts internet friend!
This Gentleman touched me… I really really felt moved and helped after his talk. What an amazing Gentleman…Thank you.
Powerfull...sad...and wonderfull...thank you so much
I was crying listenin to this. I'd love to hear the rest of it.It's so sad to hear he passed away. I hope he has found peace he helped me make it to 60days.this is the second time I've listneed to him and it's my 60th day today and I am feeling truly blessed.Thank you for posting!
+Chrystal Roberts Congrats on 60 days!!! Keep up the good work! We've got some great speakers, I highly recommend Jose P. Blessings to you and yours!
I hope you are still clean,I am coming up on 60 days too

Hope your still well! It'd be a miracle if so...
I remember 9yrs ago I was HOLDING on 2 ten mg of Methadone. My Sponsor then said, "What is ten mgs doing 4 u?" I said, "It's keeping my nose from running!" She said something so profound, "Ivis they GOT TOILET TISSUE 4 THAT!" I bust out laughing. Lol
My highest dose was 100 mg & my lowest was 10 mg.
What HELPED me the most was something my counselor said, "If u want 2 be successful w/ getting off of Methadone LESSEN YOUR STRESS LEVEL."
Ana I hope you are well. I have 8 months off benzodiazepines, methadone and opiates I've been through hell. But NA has been a great tool. The best. 🙋♂️🥰 Hang on.
Anna please keep coming back . I have been to more Funerals then weddings . I'm praying for you I know if I can make it you can
Thank you . I only been to 2 meetings in the last 3 months from this virus . Great message. 4 -20 -89 My clean date Forever Gratefull to Na .
31 years clean why do you need a meeting??
@@ronmexico79 because when we stop going to meeting our disease of addiction manifests. There is no cure, only a daily reprieve. Meetings help us remember the desperation of what our lives were, and give us strength to keep going forward without drugs or alcohol, along with hope. There's an expression if diabetics don't take their meds for the rest of their lives their disease acts up & can kill them, so for people with the disease of addiction NA (or other recovery groups/fellowships) are our meds, meetings help keep our disease in check so we can live. I hope I was able to give you a little understanding. Have a good day.
@@30teriann makes sense to me, i am an addict as well. Thank you hope you have a good day as well
Are ally ,, thk you frank,, I've been hanging around NA for over a decade & never knew or heard what I was feeling at times till now & im struggling so thk you
Grateful, so grateful to be sober today!
It's @ 16:50 that Frank says, "I HV a DENT I REALLY do!" Thanks Frank 4 ur HONESTY, COURAGE & LOVE shown 2wards ADDICTS in RECOVERY as well as those in & out of the RMS who R still suffering. I'm going bk 2 LISTEN but b4 I do I THANK GOD FOR 1 MORE DAY CLEAN, SO WE ALL WIN!
🙏🙏🙏To all NA family I pray for you and your family and to new brothers who try to surrender to meth or anything that is holding them down. Thank God I have broken the chains of elements of the world. Thank God I can work hard and I will honor my freedom and honor my soon to be marriage.
The first time I listened to the participation of a sympathizer whose language I did not understand but my tears flowed

Hmmm.. I will look in to it. I might be something on CZcams's end. Has happened to me on videos I was watching from other channels, but usually when I reload, it works.

Blessings to you and yours, we got some GREAT NA speakers we are posting tomorrow so stay tuned! :)

Frank was a very special person and so enjoyed his talk. I am so said to learn that he passed away! Does anyone know when and what happened?
If you ever find out, can you please tell me? I'm sitting here listening intently and find out he died. I'm blown away. 8degreeshotter@gmail.com. THANK YOU
He passed May 8, 2002. Clean and loved. He was my best friend and beloved for many years, he loved speaking for NA events, and would laugh hard and yet be so humbled and touched that people are still listening. I miss him deeply every day.
Wish I could’ve heard the rest!
please upload the rest of this speaker tape ;)

The corporation we put our selves thru to feel at ease even if it's for as long as the high lasts.
Please repost the rest thank you and God Bless
He sound pretty clean and serene in this tape dunno if I would have wanted to meet him back then sounds like a guy you would definatly cross the street to get away from but show their is hope for all of us 🤔
where can i get the rest of this? At 37:30 Frank is just getting into his recovery and the tape ends. Searched high and low on the web and could not find the rest anywhere. If anyone has the remainder of Frank's chat I would really like to hear it.
I pray for one more clean day for us both.
+Bubba Gump would love to hear the rest.I think Frank would know my old sponsor Blaze......
My real name is iyan vivian s. , and when i in gymnastics it was mckay, and when i was 3 my name was changed to yvonne p. ; i was in foster care and that is how i have 3 names. my birth day is 10- 1- 2004, and received a birth certificate thru the house of Ruth, to use to start elementary school thru college. my grand mom died in 2008, and i don't know the rest of my family. it was because i kept moving around and different schools, i realized my teachers where like my family and i excelled in the classroom to make them proud of me , i attempt to be better and better at school work, no matter if sick or not. i wanted to prove my teachers, that i was worth the time and effort, and when college ended in 2016, it was like i lost my family, but the woman's meeting became my outlet and the rooms weren't attention, and realized i shiver if i don't have my candy or special soda. i'm doing good. This is my last post (kinda my 3 step work), but i will listen to meeting only in the computer lab at my current daycare. thanks for being here!
❤
God bless
It should be, I remember you were having the same issue with one of the Bob D. tapes, I would try again and reload it or refresh the page. Sometimes the videos I watch (other channels) abruptly stop and I have to restart them. Let me know if there is anything I can do for ya :)
Is the end of this available, and is there any more of his leads?
Ive listened to this 4 times in 5 days and if you do have the complete lead email me at kylefentz@icloud.com. Thank you
