PS NA’s earliest self-titled pamphlet, known among members as “the White Booklet,” describes Narcotics Anonymous this way:

“NA is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We … meet regularly to help each other stay clean. … We are not interested in what or how much you used … but only in what you want to do about your problem and how we can help.”

Membership is open to all drug addicts, regardless of the particular drug or combination of drugs used.

There is no social, religious, economic, racial, ethnic, national, gender, or class-status membership restrictions. There are no dues or fees for membership; while most members regularly contribute small sums to help cover the expenses of meetings, such contributions are not mandatory.

Narcotics Anonymous provides a recovery process and support network inextricably linked together. One of the keys to NA’s success is the therapeutic value of addicts working with other addicts. Members share their successes and challenges in overcoming active addiction and living drug-free productive lives through the application of the principles contained within the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of NA. These principles are the core of the Narcotics Anonymous recovery program. Principles incorporated within the steps include:

*

admitting there is a problem;
*

seeking help;
*

engaging in a thorough self-examination;
*

confidential self-disclosure;
*

making amends for harm done; and
*

helping other drug addicts who want to recover.

Central to the Narcotics Anonymous program is its emphasis on practicing spiritual principles. Narcotics Anonymous itself is non-religious, and each member is encouraged to cultivate an individual understanding — religious or not — of this “spiritual awakening.”

Narcotics Anonymous is not affiliated with other organizations, including other twelve step programs, treatment centers, or correctional facilities. As an organization, NA does not employ professional counselors or therapists nor does it provide residential facilities or clinics. Additionally, the fellowship does not provide vocational, legal, financial, psychiatric, or medical services. NA has only one mission: to provide an environment in which addicts can help one another stop using drugs and find a new way to live.

In Narcotics Anonymous, members are encouraged to comply with complete abstinence from all drugs including alcohol. It has been the experience of NA members that complete and continuous abstinence provides the best foundation for recovery and personal growth. NA as a whole has no opinion on outside issues, including prescribed medications. Use of psychiatric medication and other medically indicated drugs prescribed by a physician and taken under medical supervision is not seen as compromising a person’s recovery in NA.

Why do some people go out of there way to he horrible, annoying and rude? because they are not happy with there self! I am so with you I so with you I wish we could do something about this as people are sick I have had the same promblem as someone ends up putting there nose where it doesn’t belong people make assumptions about others that isn’t true and they take way to many things personal, its like personality before principles. I feel that with us being here we should be able to share what we like thanks for sharing XXXXXJessica

scary too yes whats not in this world

Mmmmmmmmmmmm I guess I did as I was only looking at you!

Yes I did as Angel I need to finish it I always stop in the middle of them for your first poem baby it was excellent the will is stronger than the mind so try to connect the two together as your heart will take both of them over as you will never have to turn back you can look back butt you dont need to turn around honey its where you are going that counts its not where you have been Hugs

You know you will find love like no other as Tonight, I found Bliss tucked inside your embrace. I found one thousand Dreams dancing in your paradise eyes. In the traces of your touch, I found Music. And even after your were gone, I found memories of your kisses Whispering Lullabies in my ear. Finding you Discovering your Beauty Realizing your Truth . . . I found Love

Hey you know you have a fan here your poem is incredible hugs;)

You are compete the only thing your missing is you are telling yourself that your not complete it sounds like you are taking things to personally don’t take anything personally it might help:-)

[quote mrzigg]I actually don’t find what I said depressing. It helps me to see a reason for what people do sometimes. It might be a slightly cold way of looking at things but I think I’d prefer that over being affected by every little thing that people do.

I understand your first two points but I don’t think I understand your third point. If you mean religion then I agree. Religion has been the cause of untold death and destruction. It has ruined lives and destroyed families.
Does the good done by religion outway this cost? Who can say?

I think that any religion that wants you to blindly believe something just because your ancestors believed it is preaching pure and utter ignorance. People have to find their own path and their own understanding for the world we live in. The world changes.
People may need guidance now and then but that should be in the form of informed debate not preaching something as the “absolute truth”.
This accusation I direct at all far-right religions (including far-right christians). Those who tell you that you are ‘evil’ if you’re not with them. Those that say theirs is the only path. By saying these things they are showing they are further from the path than any of us.[/quote]

I so don’t find anything you said depressing honesty is suppose to hurt. yes my third point is that we all don’t have the same believe thank you

This is so cool let’s not forget to cut a fart when pushing a cart:-)-

You should call your Poem me

Hugs If I were a sailor I would dive deeply Into the ocean of your silky hair Where the waves are lost towards infinity Up to the perfume of a sweet love affair. If I were a swimmer I would drown with lies Into your glittering crocodiles tears of sensitivity Where your diamond’s quest will drive me As far as the lair of your soul’s eyes If I were a philatelist I would take delight Of your mouth’s line where the perfection Of your nectar will share the spotlight In the dessert of my collection. If I were a mountaineer I would climb up Your high mountain’s legend Where the everlasting snows will only blow up When your pleasure come to an end. If I were a painter I would soak my brush Into your virgin forest ready to blush Where only a coolness torrent will flow At the banks’ mouth before the afterglow. If I were a poet in love I would mix those taboo Into verses that will only look alike When my eccentric imagination would like To tell you without any regret…. I love you. rain gently falling Yet the dampness we don’t feel; For our bodies are absorbed in each other Hot as the heat from hell. You lead me slowly into the woods Place a quilt on the ground; The noise of nature is all around us
Yet the beating of our hearts is the only sound. Your kiss is gentle, yet demanding My body arches to feel The touch of your hand, the feel of you Without resistance to you, I yield. You taste the essence of my body You bring more pleasure than I’ve ever known I give myself to you completely The quietness is disturbed by our groans. You rise above me with a sudden urgency Our needs are great, we both have found Our hearts pounding with anticipation We become one, lying there on the ground. Rain has never been more beautiful As we lie together in each other’s embrace; The taste of you, the feel of nature A beautiful moment - in my memory forever encased.
