Spirituality is one of the last Fruits we receive in this Program. However, it's one of the first things we lose in the relapse process.

So our Spirituality must be maintained in order to keep Growing in this Process. In Narcotics Anonymous we are Granted a Daily Reprieve, this is only possible by our continued Willingness and Surrender to Spiritual Principles. In N.A. if we're not Growing, we are going, the disease of addiction is progressive, incurable and fatal. This Program offers a set of Principles that are written so simply that we can follow them in our daily lives.

The Evidence is seen all around us, addicts Living Clean, Happy, Joyous and Free. When we think about the first part of our Lives, it was filled with hopelessness and despair. After arriving at Narcotics Anonymous, we were told that we didn't have to feel like that anymore.

We were told that we didn't have to use, and there was a way out. We meet people who were like us, who suffered, and now they are Living Spiritually Sound Lives. We wanted what they had, so we had to do what they did, and we had to put the effort to get it.

The Program of Narcotics Anonymous is more than just abstaining from drugs, even though that is our Cornerstone. The Steps offer a Spiritual Awakening along with the opportunity to Grow, and become the people that we were meant to be all along. Narcotics Anonymous not only saves our Lives, but it offers a Life beyond our wildest dreams. It offers Freedom from active addiction, and introduces us to a God Of Our Understanding.

This Message of Hope, and Promise of Freedom, can only be topped with a Relationship with a Power Greater Than Ourselves. This Source for Power, once tapped, offers Unlimited Growth.
