Answer by natalyajackson narcotics anonymous has no reference to any specific drug in its literature. we say we are powerless over our addiction, meaning the disease of addiction, instead of drugs, which are but a symptom of our disease. we recognize that no matter what drugs we did, we all have the same disease, and it is this identification that allows us to have hope for recovery. i can remember the day i realized that if i have the same disease as other members, i can stay clean with their recovery too.
Alcoholics Anonymous – Everything you ever wanted to know but where afraid to ask. Well not all of them, but it is a good sized swing at this topic as a whole. One could spend hours on this topic. I have grown quite tired of the self important XA people and their hateful commentary. None of what they claim is true in anyway. They like to claim a non-religious status, but their links to religion are quite clear to say the very least. They claim that have a great success ratio and in fact it is 5% or less. They claim a false dichotomy in which they give you 2 choices. Their way or death, when in fact there are lots of other solutions to your alcohol or drug abuse. AA defends like a religion so I use the same debate tactics with it.
