For many of us our Spirits were voided at a young age. That was the beginnings of our addiction.

We turned to drugs to fill that void in our souls. For a long time the drugs worked, they were our solution.

When we used drugs, we didn't have to feel. We didn't have to face our emotions. In fact, we needed the drugs to survive our emotions.

Then one day the drugs stop working and turned against us. The more we used the bigger our void got.

Nothing could fill that hole in our soul. Our usage caused destruction in our Lives and in the Lives of others. In N.A. living without the use of drugs can be just as painful.

We have to use the Spiritual Principles of Narcotics Anonymous to fill that void. The purpose of the Steps is to bring us closer to the God Of Our Understanding. Our Gray Book states, "God consciousness fills the empty place inside that nothing ever could before. " God's Grace fills in the missing parts of our personalities and Spirits.

We tapped into this Power Greater Than Ourselves in the Second Step. We developed Trust and a Relationship with the God Of Our Own Understanding in the Third Step. We treat our addiction in Steps Four through Ten.

We learn to Live with this Guidance through a Constant Conscious Contact in the Eleventh Step. This God Consciousness fills the void that was left and created by the disease of addiction. Through our Unconditional Surrender, our Complete and Total Abstinence from all drugs, and the Practice of Spiritual Principles, we can find a New Way to Live. We take the show on the road in Step Twelve.

In This Moment: We will fill that God void with the things that come from God, because nothing else fits.
