“I have found that you are just like me. I am no longer better than or less than. I feel real love and camaraderie in the N.A. Fellowship. My great spiritual awakening has been that I am an ordinary addict. I am not unique.” ~ Narcotics Anonymous Basic Text Personal Story When you are working a plan of recovery from drug addiction, the fellowship of other people who have been where you have been and are where you are can be an invaluable source of support and inspiration. Finding out you are not alone in your struggles can give you strength when you feel overwhelmed. Washington State has many 12-Step fellowship programs such as Narcotics Anonymous that can give you a safe, welcoming place to go whenever temptation strikes and you feel the need for something outside of and greater than yourself.
