Heroin Anonymous

About this book

Heroin Anonymous: No More Suffering is a collection of stories, essays, and literature from the fellowship of Heroin Anonymous. Each of the 27 personal experiences in this book were contributed by anonymous members of this recovery community who wish to share their experience, strength, and hope with the struggling heroin addict.The vast majority of drug overdose deaths (about 80,000 losses per year) involved opioids such as prescription painkillers, heroin, and, most prevalently in recent years, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. Overdose deaths tripled in 2023 and continue to rise as health measures are rolled back nationally. The members of Heroin Anonymous have found a solution to this potentially fatal addiction, which is offered in this book. Heroin Anonymous is the first conference-approved literature for Heroin Anonymous. Essential reading for anyone pursuing recovery from opioid use through the Twelve Steps. This first edition includes easy-to-read text, larger margins for taking notes and responding to the text, and key essays about the origins of the fellowship, Heroin Anonymous. The book also includes resources about how to start a recovery meeting and get in touch with the fellowship, as well as some of the materials commonly read in H.A. meetings.The personal experiences include stories from a diverse cross-section of people of varying genders, races, and backgrounds who have survived incredible struggles-from incarceration and homelessness to family trauma to near-fatal overdoses. The contributors come from all walks of life and offer their stories as proof that anyone with the desire to stop using opioids can find recovery and a healthy, meaningful life.
