Welcome to xtwkrs.org. Founded in 2002, xtwkrs' is a place for ex-tweakers and recovered crystal meth addicts. Our social network consists of over 670 clean and sober people from whom crystal meth had become a problem.
xtwkrs is not affiliated with nor are we the fellowship of Crystal Meth Anonymous (CMA) and xtwkrs is not affiliated with any other 12-step fellowship such as AA, CA or NA, however we believe the benefit of all of them.
We have in recent days had new groups apply to be listed as resources on our website. We became aware that we needed to have a few guidelines as to who we listed on this website, as some of you may think we endorse one group over another. Truth is we have found many paths are sucessful in recovery. If you do not allow everyone to participate in your group, you discriminate, no matter what you call it. To that end, we have decided not to list groups that discriminate against any one (or two) groups that might also be seeking recovery.
We wish to be a conduit of information so, please share yourself and/or your organization with the rest of the world. As our mission is to spread the word, "...there is pride in recovery from crystal meth addiction," no matter if a person is a man or a woman, straight, gay, brown green or pink.

Have you ever asked, "What is a 12-step fellowship and/or 12-step program?" This question again resurfaced as a product of miss-information as there are two very different things. One peer to peer group calls CMA a 12-step program. Actually like AA and CA, CMA is a fellowship that promotes the 12-steps found in the big Book of "Alcoholics Anonymous". Fellowship meetings of AA, CA and CMA are not 12-step program meetings. They are meetings of those fellowships. Each meeting determines who and what they want to cover and/or do. Some fellowship meetings have strict formats, some allow crosstalk and discussion as the meeting proceeds. If someone tells you otherwise, they are miss-informed.
Unfortunatly one of the worst offenders of miss-information is CMA itself along with a few area websites of CMA that were built by CMA fellowship members that do not yet understand that CMA is a fellowship and not a program. Well intentioned as they may be, area group wesbites along with CMA's own (waiting for conference approval) literature all have this miss-information. The current literature committee has been appraised of this and is working to correct it now.
So until CMA fixes it's literature and local area groups get the message, let some of us at xtwkrs, be the first to remind everyone that asks that question above, the answer is: CMA is a fellowship, that promotes the recovery found in the Big Book of "Alcoholics Anonymous". If anyone tells you otherwise, they are miss-informed. |

My Farewell Letter to Tina |
|
I'm in an Intensive Outpatient Program, and I wrote this farewell letter to Tina as part of the program:
March 30, 2006
Dearest Tina,
It’s been a little while since we’ve seen each other. I miss you greatly, but somehow I’m sure you’ve found other friends. I feel bad that I haven’t hung out with you in so long without even a goodbye, but we both knew we had to part ways. We weren’t really that good for each other…we were both changing into different things.
