THE FAMILY THAT TWEAKS TOGETHER

As a recovering meth addict, I was kind of wondering why Narcotics Anonymous
wasn't considered a viable solution in any of the articles in your series. I
can testify that it worked for me, my wife and my two best friends. We all
used meth together. We all are more than two years clean now.

Our success suggests that the odds are pretty good that a person can
get clean through NA. It has a program that many treatment centers
send their patients to, and it is free. It does not stress religion,
which made it more conducive for me to go there.

It would lighten my heart to see a mention of this program in New
Times, a paper for which I have the utmost regard. I think that people
should know that a community of recovering meth addicts exists, and
that this community is reaching out to help as many others as it can.
