For a lot of us, drugs were our Solution for a long time. Drugs were the answer to our lack of Spirituality and coping skills. Most of us would've committed instant suicide if it wasn't for medicating ourselves with drugs.

We realize that addiction was present long before we picked up. Our spiritual decay had its beginning and progressing as children. Some symptoms of the disease of addiction were depression, anxiety, frustration, low self-esteem and many other ills.

Many of us were misdiagnosed, doctors enabled our disease by prescribing medication. This only made things worst and made our addiction progress. Some of us sought answers through religion and other institutions.

We used people to fill our voids. All these things failed to not only produce Abstinence but any type of Recovery at all.

Our addiction continued to progress until we arrived to Narcotics Anonymous. This Solution wasn't even our idea. We were beaten into submission and forced to try something new we never tried before.

Narcotics Anonymous became the last thing we tried and the first thing that worked. Today with Spiritual Principles we're able to have a different perspective of our Lives.

We have a new set of feelings we can feel. It started with the Hope that was Shared by others. With this new evidence we were able to have Hope that we to can Recover. For the first time in a long time, we became Responsible, first for our Recovery and then, to Carry the Message of Narcotics Anonymous to those seeking Recovery.

We're no longer using drugs or anything else to cover up our feelings of self and others. We gain a new vision of how our Lives could and should be. Today we are ok with being Adequate for perfection is a Divine quality, our Gray Book tells us.

In This Moment: We feel our feelings and survive our emotions. We no longer use drugs or anything else to numb us.
