The Basic Text of NA states that "We have never seen an addict who lives this program relapse." The thing about NA is that we all mess up. None of us live the program perfectly. One statement in particular in that article is patently false, that "not every drug addict can enter NA and have success." Every single addict CAN recover through NA if they live the principles embodied in the program. The only difficult part about it is learning how to do that. It is difficult, but with the help of others in recovery and a higher power of your understanding, it can always be done. The idea that we rely on our own willpower to get clean is misleading. If all it took was my willpower, I wouldn't need NA. I could do it myself cold turkey. The fact that I can't is why I came to NA. Through the program, we recover from the disease of addiction.
