Inside this issue:
APRIL - MAY 2011
The purpose of this newsletter is to keep Seattle Area Narcotics Anonymous members informed of the events and happenings of our fellowship. Every at-tempt is made to adhere to NAWS guidelines and SASC guidelines for news-letters. The content contained herein ex-presses the views and knowledge of it's con-tributors, not N.A. as a whole.
We Need your
Ideas, Talents and Input!
The Seattle Area News-letter needs your touch!
It can be a personal story of how you, the Fellow-
ship, or your Higher Power helped to get you through a tough time, your views on a particular quote from the Narcotics Anonymous literature that you happen to like, or a simple expression of gratitude.
You do not have to be a professional writer and please don't worry if you think you can’t write well enough, we will be happy to make any spelling or punctuation corrections
for you. The important thing is that you will be sharing your recovery with other addicts. After all, we can only keep what we have by giving it away.
The length of your article isn’t important either. The only real criteria for submissions is that they reflect the message of Narcotics Anonymous and stick to the identifica-tion of ourselves as ad-dicts suffering from the
disease of addiction.
Submissions can be e-mailed to:
Thank you for your time and support .

Obsession is my weapon of mass destruction
I obsess to the point that I can’t properly function
I engross myself in that person, place, or thing
And try to take more than just what it’s offering.
I’m hurting others while just disappointing myself
It’s no good for my spiritual or mental health
I’m working my steps, taking the steps
So I can become less and less obsessed
Even though every day I see these defects
Every day I’m less stressed
Cuz I’m givin it to God, givin Him everything I got
The good and the bad
The fresh and the rot
My resentments and fears
My heartaches and tears
He’s teachin me to listen
So now let me be silent and open my ears.
