If you go to any meeting you have: Who is an Addict, what is NA, Why are we here,How it Work, 12 Traditions of NA, and a reading from Just for today, also Just for Today at the end. In those readings alone does it not tell us what we need to know... Who tells us our ends are all the same, jails institutions and death, What says it doesnt matter what or how much we used, only what you want to do about your problem and how we can help. Why tell us tha after coming to NA we realized we were sick people. We suffer from a disease, that disease can be arrested at some point and recovery is then possible. HOW it works tells us 1 is too many and 1000 is never enough, and that Alchohol is is a drug. In those readings alone, after a while, the cross-addicted person will realize from addicts sharing there experience, strength and hope that they are like us.ADDICTS. When there was talk about the Clarity statements, other addicts shared there opinions about it, neg. and pos. some groups read it at meetings and some dont. Personally, What can I do, comes from the text, very suddle, and adviseable on what to do for the newcomer. Of, course that is just my opinion.
