I agree wholeheartedly.
When I was in the pit of dispair of my final few days of active addiction, I realized that death was preferable to the way I was living. I contemplated suicide and realized that I was way to scarred to go through with it, the other option was to ask for help. I decided to ask my family for support. THe helped me to detox. When I was able to somewhat function again, I took action by enrolling in an outpatient program and started attending NA meetings.
I have found that NA is all about thinking, deciding and acting....that is a very good way to put it equus.
THere is an old saying in NA "recovery isn't for people that need it, it's not even for people that want it, it's for people that want it AND do it."
