Why Are We Here?
|
|
Before coming to the Fellowship
of NA, we could not manage our own lives. We could not live and enjoy life as
other people do. We had to have something different and we thought we had found
it in drugs. We placed their use ahead of the welfare of our families, our
wives, husbands, and our children. We had to have drugs at all costs. We did
many people great harm, but most of all we harmed ourselves. Through our
inability to accept personal responsibilities we were actually creating our own
problems. We seemed to be incapable of facing life on its own terms.

Most of us realized that in our
addiction we were slowly committing suicide, but addiction is such a cunning
enemy of life that we had lost the power to do anything about it. Many of us
ended up in jail, or sought help through medicine, religion, and psychiatry.
None of these methods was sufficient for us. Our disease always resurfaced or
continued to progress until, in desperation, we sought help from each other in
Narcotics Anonymous.

After coming to NA we realized we
were sick people. We suffered from a disease from which there is no known cure.
It can, however, be arrested at some point, and recovery is then possible.
