Why not … these people need to be punished … if only it is also done in the West, the drug problem will not exist.

We have been working very hard to get Narcotics Anonymous meeting going in the City of Wuhan which has dozens of treatment centers in one place. These centers are beginning to recognize the need for a form of drug rehabilitation system tha works.
We have done a formal presentation in one center and which was well received by both the staff and the patients. A Chinese NA group was formed the weekend of that conference. We have paid the rent for a meeting space in Wuhan and recently one woman and one man both celebrated 1 year clean! This is truly a mircacle in motion.
One member is opening his own center which will be based on the 12 step recovery model that was worked for millions of addicts around the world. The concept of addicts helping addicts to get clean has been working very succesfuly around the world. This approach costs the government and the local communities nothing as we are self-supporting through our own contributions.
There is hope for adddicts in China to recover from the disease of addiction in the program of Narcotics Anonymous. If you are in China and are interested in information on Narcotics Anonymous and/or NA literature you may contact Geoff T. at rangeelageoff@gmail.com.
At 28 year of age, I had lost everything; My wife, my son, my business, my house, a felony conviction and my self-esteem was gone. I found Narcotics Anonymous in a treatment center 3 hours from my home in 1981. This September I celebrated 28 years clean. If I can get clean and stay clean, anyone can.

Stand-up China, you MUST be strong. Do not allow anyone to poison our country anymore. Anyone uses drug and sell drug in China should be executed. We don’t need human garbage in our China.
