Narcotics Anonymous Center In Lucknow
Narcotics Anonymous came into being in 1953. Each week, 61,000 meetings are held in 129 countries around the world. Although the organization was founded to deal with narcotic abuse and addiction, it currently makes no distinction between substances and welcomes anyone who is trying to break a dependence on drugs or even alcohol.
Narcotics Anonymous began as an offshoot of the previously formed Alcoholics Anonymous(AA) program. The 12-step recovery program was designed to parallel the one used by Alcoholics Anonymous and meant to be both a pathway to recovery as well as set of expectations and guidelines for members of the organization. In fact, the 12 steps of recovery are now widely recognizable outside of the many addiction programs that now exist.
The 12 steps to recovery are:
- We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction; that our lives had become unmanageable
- Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves
- Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs
- We’re entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character
- Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings
- Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all
- Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others
- Continued to take personal inventory and, when we were wrong, we promptly admitted it
- 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
- Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs
