Some of us couldn't fathom life without the use of drugs. Stopping the use of drugs wasn't really our choice; we often thought we couldn't see ourselves living, without the use of drugs. Surrendering to Complete and Total Abstinence and Living without drugs was our first task.

We soon found out that the only thing we had to change, was everything. Surrendering to the Spiritual Principles of Narcotics Anonymous called for a complete change of attitudes, behaviors and ideas. The Steps and Traditions of Narcotics Anonymous provide the vehicle for this physical, mental and Spiritual Transformation.

We discover from others that Recovery is more than not using. N.A. not only offers Freedom from active addiction, but also, a New Way To Live.

When we choose Recovery, we choose the whole Narcotics Anonymous Program. Admitting our powerlessness and unmanageability, we open the door for a Power Greater Than Ourselves to Help us in our Recovery. The Daily Reprieve allows us to give up our old ideas.

We now have a set of Spiritual Principles that can be applied to our Daily Lives. The tools of the disease from our old way of life does not work in the N.A. Program. Today with the Help of the God Of Our Own Understanding, Sponsorship and the Fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous, we don't have to suffer from untreated addiction. We can tap into this Unlimited Source of Strength and Growth, which offers Freedom from self, others and the World at Large.

In This Moment: We choose Life today. We Learn to apply this Simple, Spiritual, not religious Program of Narcotics Anonymous.
