If you would read the NA Basic Text it talks intensly on working the steps with a sponsor. It also says in there that we have never seen anyone relapsed who has lived the NA Way! That being said if we are in fact going to live the NA Way then we must follow the directions that are clearly outlined in the Basic Text and the It Works How and Why. If we are not willing to make the effort to get this deal then more or less we will fall.
