Upon working Step One, we affirmed our surrender to the principles of N.A., and only then did we overcome the alienation of being a drug addict.
Gray Book, p. 31 (Step One, Lines 1-3)
Accepting through our Surrender to the disease of addiction, also initiates our Surrender to the Spiritual Solution to this disease. Narcotics Anonymous offers us a viable and proven method to treat our disease of addiction and Recovery from. The Steps and Traditions of Narcotics Anonymous is the Program that offers us a Daily Reprieve from active addiction and makes our Recovery possible.
One of Narcotics Anonymous Spiritual Principles is Complete and Total Abstinence from all drugs in order to Recover. We can't Recover if our minds and bodies are still clouded with drugs, illegal or prescribed, it doesn't matter.
Our minds and bodies don't know the difference. Working and Practicing the Honesty behind Step One proves we have Faith in the Program of Narcotics Anonymous and that it will work. We have countless proof of the Program working in the Lives of those addicts that arrived before us.
After working and Living the Steps, we learn that the drugs were the surface symptom of a deeper disease. We learn that the disease of addiction is what makes us addicts, not the drugs. If we really work the First Step in Narcotics Anonymous we begin to identify ourselves as addicts not drug addicts.
With our Admission and Surrender to the Spiritual Principles of N.A., we open the door to a Power Greater Than Ourselves; that can Help us in our Recovery. This Power Greater Than Ourselves becomes the God Of Our Own Understanding as we Progress through the Steps and Traditions.
In This Moment: We will Recognize our God as our Greatest Source of Strength that will Guide us in our Recovery.
