This can show up as an unexplainable depression or disorientation. It is really related to a poor spiritual condition and can be remedied by an ongoing application of the Twelve Steps of recovery.
Gray Book, p. 140 (Chapter Eight, Lines 19-22)
How many times we hear at Meetings, "don't use no matter what". Addicts use no matter what. If it was that simple, then we wouldn't need Narcotics Anonymous, God and our Sponsors.
There would be no need for Steps, Traditions and the Practicing of Spiritual Principles. Our Literature reminds us that addiction affects every area of our Lives, not just the physical use of drugs. Just not using is still untreated addiction.
It can be an illusion that just because we Achieved Complete and Total Abstinence that were ok. One of the symptoms of the disease of addiction is the using of drugs. We can arrest this disease A Day At A Time, but it is still progressing and there's no cure.
In Narcotics Anonymous we treat not only the symptom, but we also treat the mental, Spiritual and emotional parts of this disease. We use a Spiritual Solution to a Spiritual problem. Narcotics Anonymous offers us a set of Spiritual Principles that work on a twenty-four hour basis. Many members old and new forget about this Daily Reprieve.
The Spiritual Conditioning has to be maintained for relapse to stay at bey. The relapse process starts when we stop Practicing these Simple Spiritual Principles. It can show up as anxiety and depression.
Our Spirituality is the first to go in this relapse process. Then, our mental disorder kicks in and the obsession starts.
Then, we get loaded at the end of the relapse. The only thing that can save us is the reapplication of the Spiritual Principles and Practices of them.
In This Moment: We will never leave Practicing the Basics of the Narcotics Anonymous Program, so we won't start the relapse process.
