After coming to Narcotics Anonymous we realize we were sick people, not bad people. We got sick overtime not overnight. The using of drugs was just a symptom of the disease of addiction.

The using was just the tip of the iceberg. The submerged part of the iceberg is the greater part of the disease. Addiction in Narcotics Anonymous is considered a Spiritual disease, not a medical one.

Our Solution has to be Spiritual in nature. Addiction is a Spiritual disease because it affects our Relationship with God, ourselves, others, and the world around us. In other words, it affects our Relationship with Reality.

When we arrived to Narcotics Anonymous, we came in with different bottoms. Most of us suffered either Physically, Mentally, or Spiritually. Some of us lost everything and everyone that were in our Lives.

Some of us arrived with our families and jobs still intact. Regardless as to how and why we got here, we all suffered. Our Spirits visited the same horrors of addiction.

It was at that interminable (incapable of being terminated) moment that we had to Surrender. We found that in Narcotics Anonymous there's room for all manifestations of the Recovering person. When we identify and not compare, we develop that Wordless Language of Empathy. With this Spiritual Principle we are able to help one another.

In Narcotics Anonymous our diversity creates Unity in Strength. We carry the Message of Hope and the Promise of Freedom for all who seek it.

That's our Unity of Action and our Unity of Purpose.

In This Moment: In Narcotics Anonymous if we don't remember our bottom, then maybe we haven't had it yet. We share this valuable experience with all who seek Recovery.
