Since 1953 Narcotics Anonymous has been a proven way for addicts to get Clean and Recover. There are many methods that society has tried to deal with the addiction problem throughout the years. Narcotics Anonymous does not claim to have the only answer to society's problem of addiction.

Throughout the ages; many methods have been tried, but none seem to have the results that Narcotics Anonymous has. There is no known cure to the disease, but it can be treated. Medicine, jails, religion and psychiatry held no answers for the suffering addict.

Addicts continued to use and continued to die. Society first treated addiction like a moral dilemma, and put addicts in jail. After years of unproven, unsuccessful results, they treated addiction as a medical problem.

Treating addiction with drugs has proven to be fatal for addicts; you can't stop using drugs, by taking drugs. In Narcotics Anonymous we define addiction as a Spiritual disease. A Spiritual problem cannot be treated with a chemical solution.

So in Narcotics Anonymous we use a Spiritually Based Twelve Step Program, to arrest and treat the disease, just for one day. A twenty-four hour Program that can be Practiced daily, for the rest of our Lives. Narcotics Anonymous has been proving itself in the Lives of many addicts for decades.

Our members have been Abstinent and Recovering to Live long and Happy drug Free Lives. We Live by Spiritual Principles and we Help one another.

Addicts are the only ones that can Help addicts. There is no cure for this progressive and fatal disease, but We in Narcotics Anonymous have found the most Successful method, it's not religion, but it is Spiritual. Spiritual disease needs a Spiritual Solution, We Share our Recovery Freely, for those who want it.
