Will do this Dalin and I really needed to read this part:

To get a better understanding of addiction, we must look at the disease concept of addiction. From that standpoint, addiction is a disease of attitudes, personality & a general negative outlook that is rooted in fear, insecurity & low self-esteem. The main ingredients of addiction are obsession & compulsions. Obsession - that fixed idea that takes us back time & time again to our particular drug, or some substitute (anything that makes us feel good & offers instant gratification, such as money, power, sex, food, anger) to recapture the ease & comfort we once knew. Compulsion - once having started the process with one fix, one pill, one drink or one substitute, we cannot stop through our own power of will. Because of our physical sensitivity to drugs & anything that makes us feel good, we are completely in the grip of a destructive power greater than ourselves.

Dalin this has helped me get thru today better, understanding my condition I had no idea that my obsession over things had so much to do with my illness and now i see how powerless over it I am.

Everytime today when I thought about obsessing over something that i have been doing for MONTHS now (Ex girlfriend) it stopped me from doing it what I do and contacting her and KILLING myself inside . I have been tearing my self down with that obsession and now I have to say " I am powerless over my obsession and my life is unmanageable" which gives me the power back.

Thanks for your help and guidance.

I don't have the NA book but I will be getting it soon so I can do some reading.

I'll begin with a few questions that are asked I believe they are simple answer yes or no.


Are we sure we want to stop using? YES
Do we understand that we have no real control over drugs? YES
Do we recognize that in the long run, we didn't use drugs - they used us? YES
Did jails & institutions take over the management of our lives at different times? YES
Do we fully accept the fact that our every attempt to stop using or to control our use failed? YES YES
Do we know that our addiction changed us into someone we didn't want to be: dishonest, deceitful, self-willed people at odds with ourselves & our fellow man? YES
Do we really believe that we have failed as drug users?YES

What do I expect from NA?


Understanding and inertial guidance something to help me get moving foreward .

A place of common ground among others who understand me and I them, a place that I fit in at among others.

Dalin, I have just now printed Step One Worksheet and intend to work it over this week. As you said, let's go a bit slow on this step work so that I can stay on par with all of you. I look forward to this step work group and can't wait to reap the benefits. Thanks for the initiative. I understand that I must read the worksheet for a week before I begin my answers, is that so? Please clarify. Hugs.
