In Narcotics Anonymous the only thing we have to change about ourselves is everything. When we first arrived to Narcotics Anonymous our Spirits were broken and, for many of us, our Lives were in utter shambles. We Surrendered to the disease of addiction.

We stop fighting, and we Surrender to the Program of Narcotics Anonymous. We first had to Achieve and maintain Complete and Total Abstinence. We had to complete this Admittance of our powerlessness and unmanageability for anything to happen.

In working Step One, we opened the door to a Power Greater than Ourselves. This Power makes our Recovery a Reality.

Being Abstinent from all drugs leaves a void in our Spirits. The purpose of Step Two is to fill this Spiritual void with the Hope of the Narcotics Anonymous Program. Tapping into a Power Greater than Ourselves relieves our obsession to use drugs.

Our Gray Book says, "We now have a workable idea of a Higher Power. " This Hope propels into Faith through positive action. Our Third Step Decision provides our Spiritual Foundation in which to build our Recovery on. To sum up our Program, first we get right with God, we get right with self, we get right with others and; finally, we get right with the world at large. We continue the cycle of Recovery on a Daily Basis by Practicing these Spiritual Principles.

We can only keep our Recovery by Sharing it with others. We reinforce our Recovery as we work with our Sponsors and Newcomers. We Live Life Happy, Joyous and Free.

We become a power of example and give our Higher Power all the credit. We are on the road of Recovery, We Do Recover.

In This Moment: We will work the Steps, then the Steps work us. Finally, we learn to Live the Steps by Practicing the Spiritual Principles contained in them.
