Our literature says that addiction is an enemy of life. When we were using, we were slowly committing suicide, and we couldn't help it. Our Lives had become an exercise in survival, but we were also killing ourselves at the same time.

We sought no Solution that worked. We blamed everyone and everything for our condition.

We saw no way out, so we used drugs to cover up our feelings of failure. We were trapped in an endless cycle with no end in sight. After Surrendering to the Program of Narcotics Anonymous, and tapped into a Power greater than ourselves, our Lives began to have meaning.

We no longer were just surviving or existing. We actually found something to Live for, ourselves. We started to see that staying Clean was paying off.

We started to feel Hope, as we were released from our self-made prisons. We were doing more than just existing, we were finally Living. Each day we didn't use we saw that our Lives were worth Living. In practicing the Spiritual Principles of Narcotics Anonymous, we began to gain selfworth and our Faith grew as a result.

We became the people we were meant to be all along. In Living the Program, our Lives became full and Fulfilling. We show our Gratitude by Sharing and Caring with others the N.A. way.

In This Moment: With the Help of N.A. and the God of Our Own Understanding, our Lives will be worth Living. No longer are our Lives just an exercise in survival.
