In recovery we learn about our addiction
and the affects of many of those mind
altering drugs or chemicals we abused
each day we injested them, drank them,
applied them to our bodies.
To never take a drug that is narcotic
or habit forming again is what we in
recovery strive for to insure a healthy,
happy, free mind body and spirit for
years to come.
There are good medicines available
to us that are not narcotic or habit
forming the help our bodies heal
properly after operations, cancers,
addictions, etc. and used with proper
instructions from our physicians.
In recovery as we live addiction free,
our minds and bodies need to heal from
the damage caused my all those poisonous,
toxic drugs we abused which causes a
chemical imbalance in our minds and
bodies.
Physicians are available for us to use
to help us heal properly as we discuss
honestly about our addiction to those
narcotics we abused.
They inturn help us balance out our
insides so we can function in mind,
body and spirit in a more healthier
way.
We are not meant to suffer in recovery
and life so we are given recovery programs
as a guideline to live addiction free and
our physicians to help us heal in a healthier
manner to function an live healthy, happy
and free.

The steps aren't about drilling that into your head. However, the first step covers being honest about what using really does to you.
Sure, not ever using again is the plan, but not using today is how to do that.
You don't have to stay clean if you don't want to. Just be assured that the outcome of using is always the same - it will kill you, and the trip there will be miserable. And yes, it can get a lot worse that it was when you stopped.
Drugs weren't my problem, they were my attempt at a solution to the problem I already had, then they became my most obvious problem. Once I stopped using and the smoke cleared, I still had this "spiritual malady" or feeling of unease with life and with myself. - That's what the steps are for.
Using is about running from the problem and ultimately creating a far bigger problem, recovery via the 12 steps of NA is about addressing the problem head on and gradually diminishing its power over our lives.
"a lifetime without a single drug again" sounds just like "a lifetime without pouring gasoline on myself and setting myself on fire ever again". - It didn't always sound that way, but it does now.
