Letters to the Editor
Written by, Sally
Dear MA:
My son, Dave, is one of you, and I want to send each of you my love and support, and thanks, for giving of yourselves. He feels he owes his sobriety and life to you – I know I have my son back, but even better than before. He and I have what appears to be a unique relationship – unfortunately. This is how it should be for every child and every mother. He’s kind and good and funny and loving – as he learns, learns, learns.
I’m very grateful for the effects of the 12-Step experience in my own travels – I’m most grateful to all of you for being there for him. I wish each and every one of you love, and pray for your continuing courage, strength, and hope.
My most sincere appreciation, Sally

Smoking marijuana is like setting a fire hose upon this delicate…

Little Victories
Written by, Ernest F. I remember someone saying to share at a meeting. Someone may be going through what you have been through or have known personally. Victories should be shared even if they are little; it provides others with a sense of looking forward, or hope! Meditation has gotten better for me, I use…

Why MA?
By, Chuck R. A lot of people in other 12 Step programs ask the question, “Why Marijuana Anonymous?” I tell them that for twelve years, I was in and out of AA and NA and could not put together any length of sobriety or stop smoking pot. I tell them that I could stop drinking…
