Our Third Step asks us to make a Decision, unlike the First Step where we were physically, mentally and spiritually beaten into submission, by others or the drugs themselves. This Decision is made by our desire to want this Way Of Life. This Decision is made more from our Hearts than our minds. We stopped fighting everyone and everything; we realized the fight was fixed.

We first Surrendered to the disease, and then we Surrendered to the Program of Narcotics Anonymous. We Surrender to Win; we walk over to the winning side. The initial Surrender in the First Step is what makes our Recovery possible.

Our Surrender is ongoing and renewed every day; there's no substitute for our Surrender. Knowledge and Willingness cannot replace Action. We must work the Steps or suffer the wrath of our disease.

Hope replaces desperation and Faith replaces fear. Faith manifests into other Spiritual Principles.

As we see the Program work in the Lives of others, we begin to see it evident in our Lives as well. As our Spirits Awaken, More is Revealed, our Path continues to light up, and we can go further. With members on both sides, we're able to stay in the center of the circle of our Program and not fall off. The God Of Our Understanding will manifest itself through others.

God works with numbers, one member helping another creating a link which acts as our life line. We've paid enough for our admission to stay.

Our only price is Surrender.
