Gri Kitap Yansīmasī
We have learned from our group experience that those who keep coming to our meetings regularly stay clean.

Since 1953 the Narcotics Anonymous Program has proven itself to be a viable and effective answer to drug addiction. Many have Recovered from the horrors of addiction, a Day At A Time. Narcotics Anonymous not only offers the possibility of Complete and Total Abstinence from all drugs; but also a new way to Live without the use of drugs. The important thing for us to remember is that we don't do it on our own.
The first Eleven Steps begin with the word "WE. " This Spiritual Principle of Anonymity is probably what we first experience when we first come in and Surrender. The Narcotics Anonymous Groups provide, in its Recovery Meetings, an Atmosphere where our Life Saving Message can be Shared. Our Recovery Meetings provide the study of Narcotics Anonymous Literature and the Experience, Strength and Hope of the older members.
The Spiritual Principles of Empathy and Identification starts our Recovery Process. Attending Meetings is a physical act of Surrender. If we're newcomers, we listen to other members as they carry the Message of Narcotics Anonymous. We Share the Solution of our problem, addiction.
We realize that we have a Fellowship to Share our concerns with. We can ask questions after the Meeting and learn how to socialize with others.
We see firsthand that we don't have to use drugs, Just For Today. Recovery is what happens in our Meetings. It is our one and only purpose.
Overtime we see members Celebrating various amounts of Clean Time during N.A. Birthday Celebrations.
That gives us Hope that we also can continue to attend Meetings, and work a Living Program of Narcotics Anonymous.
In This Moment: We still continue to do the physical act of Surrender by attending Meetings.
