Spirituality means commitment to recovery and service.  It means turning from the old life to the new life, from darkness to the new light of life, a 180-degree turn, and coming close to God.

On the challenge of recovering behind the walls:

I’m a counselor in a prison in Texas that has a rehabilitation program for men with substance abuse problems.

In response to a letter that appeared in the January 1999 NA Way, you gave several reasons why an NA member serving on an H&I panel was discouraged from giving his personal phone number to an incarcerated addict.  Here’s another reason:

It is a rule of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice that no visitor is allowed to exchange personal information with our incarcerated men and women.  If a visitor is caught passing information, he or she is removed from the visitation list.

I’m sorry that an incarcerated addict was hurt by this policy, but it is for the safety of everyone involved.

Sincerely,
Edna Forbes, LCDC, ADC
Texas DOCJ

 
Spirituality is to live in the solution.
