12 STEP PROGRAM
Narcotics Anonymous offers recovery from the effects of addiction through working a twelve-step program, including regular attendance at group meetings. The group atmosphere provides help from peers and offers an ongoing support network for addicts who wish to pursue and maintain a drug-free lifestyle. The name, Narcotics Anonymous, is not meant to imply a focus on any particular drug; NA's approach makes no distinction between drugs including alcohol.
at our rehab we follow the 12 step programme which has proven itself as the panacea for sobriety. these steps are:
12 Steps of Narcotics Anonymous
- 1. We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable
- 2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
- 3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him
- 4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves
- 5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs
- 6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character
- 7. We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings
- 8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all
- 9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others
- 10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it
- 11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out
- 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs
