Narcotics anonymous has no opinion on outside issues. A word is a word and does not have any meaning of expression unless one wishs to use it to establish themselves as more spiritual than the next person sitting in the room. Father martin said it best - if you are doing something i believe to be wrong and/or inapproiate and i'm not doing it then i, due to my inflated since of self, will deem myself better than you! Get over yourself, the english consider americans as inferior because we butcher the queens english. Oh what a day, the wars of the future will be fought over the words we use, instead of the god/buda/ali or whatever we are currently worshiping. The only true political correctness is to be yourself................

If we weren't all "anonymous," then EVERYONE would know who we are. If you want to understand more about this, research our traditions.
In Narcotics Anonymous, the term "self" typically refers to the individual's inner being, thoughts, emotions, and behavior. It often signifies self-awareness, introspection, and personal responsibility in recovery from addiction. By addressing and understanding their own "self," individuals in Narcotics Anonymous work towards personal growth and positive change.
As Narcotics Anonymous are really a group of wildly differing people, some do, while others do not. The one common attribute of people at Narcotics Anonymous is a desire to stop using narcotics and continue not using narcotics. The following is an opinion of one person, not of NA: Note that many people in NA are also in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Substituting one addition for another is not preferable. Also judgment is generally impaired while drinking alcohol, so overall it is not recommended. If it absolutely came down to drinking alcohol or taking narcotics, many might advise taking some alcohol to avoid taking narcotics. This should not be used as an excuse to drink alcohol.
Absolutely. NA understands that a drug is a drug.
