Hospitals and Institutions Wants You! South Coast Area of Narcotics Anonymous’ Hos-pitals and Institutions Subcommittee needs panel leaders and volunteer speakers to spread the message in hospitals, recovery centers, and jails. Taking the message of Narcotics Anonymous to the addict who is beginning their journey into recovery is an important part of the NA program. Panel Lead-ers and Volunteers offer invaluable services for these individuals and are always needed to spread the mes-sage of strength and hope to people who aren’t always able to get to meetings. All it takes is the ability to serve a couple hours a month and you could make a huge difference in someone’s life.

GIVE BACK WHAT WAS SO FREELY GIVEN YOU BY BECOMING A VOLUNTEER WITH HOSPITALS AND INSTIUTIONS TODAY!
Family is love, no not mine.Fake feelings are given right after a line.I don’t love my life as I did before.The heart once big, is not quite sore.Fights twice a day starts to get old.For a drug, themselves they very well sold.Black pupils I see so big and dark.Stay up all night to feel that spark.They’ll give me a hug, my ear to their chest.Loud pulse I hear, cant take a rest.Hypocritical them, tell me its bad.The parents I love, make me sad.Deny the truth, but I know it all.The wall between us, is growing quite tall.Bonds we’ve made surely fade away.Feelings of love die day by day.My hero who had that blissful power.Drips down your throat, make your face look sour.Don’t take this badly, I deeply thank you.Brought up in this world to deal with it too.I'm glad you know how I feel inside,one more sniff and you’ll feel just fine.
