It kind of showed me recovery on a level that I hadn't been, you know, hadn't experienced before, and an enthusiasm for recovery in Narcotics Anonymous that I really haven't experienced anywhere where I've traveled, you know.
Imagine stepping into a world where recovery is a lifeline, and spirituality permeates every aspect of the journey. This episode of myRecoveryCast transports you to Iran, through the eyes of Piet from Sweden and two current World Board members, as they recount their transformative experiences at a Narcotics Anonymous convention in Iran. Piet's journey began in 2005, and he shares his initial apprehensions and eventual awe at the deep sense of community and spirituality he found there.
Fast forward to 2015, and two more board members embark on their own journey to Iran, discovering a vibrant and enthusiastic recovery community unlike any other. From secretive airport arrivals to packed meeting rooms, their stories paint a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs faced by the Iranian NA community. You'll hear about the unique sponsorship process, where newcomers are guided in a classroom setting, and the celebration of clean time, which differs significantly from Western practices.
The guests' reflections on these differences highlight the adaptability and resilience of the Iranian NA members. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of cultural contrasts, shared struggles, and the universal quest for recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find inspiration in these stories of hope and perseverance.
