Do you want to blog about recovery?
Would you like to have your own recovery blog? Due to extensive abuse by spammers, we can no longer allow new users to create their own blog. If you would like to have your own blog, please join our message board at http://na-recovery.org/board/index.php - register for the message board and leave "Lon" a personal message asking to have a blog created for you. Please include the username you registered on the blogsite. We would also like to have you participate on our message board and in our NA chatroom.

We have owned the domain name http://narcoticsanonymouschat.org for a couple of years now. Finally we are preparing to move from http://na-recovery.org to the new address. The objective is to unify the website, forum, and blogsite into one unified entity.
GOD, I love learning!! 
I have been experimenting with "cms" , content management systems, that are supposed to make a seamless web presence. ARRRG. Right now the new address has just a bit of content on it, mostly the default text as I experiment and try to find an efficient way to manage the content of our web presence. Like always in life, time pressures keep me from doing all that I think needs to be done in a timely manner.
One day at a time, one step at a time......

After far too long the blog here at NA-Recovery.org is now up and running again. Life has been busy and the repair of our blogsite took the backseat to life for a very long time....my apologies to everyone who has missed using NA-Recovery's blog.

I uploaded some more blog "skins" to the site. The Skins change how your blog looks. If you would like to change the look of your blog, it's pretty easy.
1. Click the down arrow next to "Customize" up at the top of your blog page.
2. Click on "Skins." This will show you a page with a whole bunch of skins.
3. Click on the picture of the skin you would like.
4. You're done!

Welcome to NA Recovery Blogs!
Welcome to our members blog area. Here, you can set up your own space to journal, read friends' blogs, and share your personal journey in recovery.
So much of the time, we learn how to live in recovery through the shared experiences of others. We can see what does and doesn't work, and gain perspective from hearing other members' experience, strength, and hope.
To set up a blog, the steps are fairly simple.
1. Click the link that says "Log In." This will take you to a screen where you can either enter a username and password, or register.
2. Click Register.
3. Enter your "Login" name. This will be the name you use to log into your blog. It will also be part of the address for your blog.
Example: Login: Addict1 becomes: http://na-recovery.org/blogs/u/Addict1
4. Enter your email address, password, and the name you would like your blog to have.
5. Submit your registration. This will send you an email with a link to validate your email address.
6. Check your email, and click the link. This will bring you to a screen, with an explanation of where to find your blog, and should also log you in. Up at the top of the screen is a header, with links for "Dashboard," "See," "Write," etc.
7. To customize your blog, click on "Customize, and select your preferences, including a skin (what your blog looks like) and what you would like displayed.
