The "Official" website of The Mid - Atlantic Region of Narcotics Anonymous
Dear Gus:
We read step 7 last night in my home group. There are good and bad points about all of us. In talking about humility, you have not said one positive thing about me.
Also, there are many people that make a statement by submitting a resignation. Telling your boss that you are leaving is one method of discussing a raise. I was asking that the webmaster be a paid position. Not that I be paid for it; but that the Region search for a part-time webmaster to handle the technical parts of the job. The Web Chair could then be simply an NA member without the technical requirements. Again, this position as currently stated in the policy manual violates NA Tradition. If we require special workers, such as a webmaster, we should hire one. I have submitted excellent points in this regard. As I said, the resignation was not accepted by the Region. AND, the Region did not call for my removal.
I have not been selfish. The police officer and detectives I spoke with said it was the job of Mary, the Chairperson, to research what needed to be done. Instead, when I called Mary, she said she did not have the time. Mary did not have the time to send me a new meeting announcement or to phone me - which would have taken a couple of minutes. Mary did find the time to call Tracy P. and discuss with him privately to block me from the website.
Others I have spoken to have all noted my selflessness. I have given 20 hours a week or more for 18 months! I have not been paid for any of my work. Also, I asked in good faith for someone to create a draft of a new logo. The individual sent some beautiful suggestions. The Region just dropped this - even though the web committee had discussed this thoroughly. It is frustrating that all the work of the committee went for naught.
As for my own step work - Do YOU spend 20 hours a week on your step work? Do your sponsees spend 20 hours a week on step work? As to the writing I have done, I am working on Step 4 and yes, I have pages and pages. I have filled two notebooks. In the process, I have run out of paper and through a couple of pens.
