True or False
The words "drugs" and "narcotics" appear nowhere in NA's Twelve Steps.
True
One of the major differences between NA and most other fellowships is that NA admits powerlessness over the disease, not the substance. In AA powerlessness is admitted over alchol; In Cocaine Anonymous, cocaine and all other drugs; but in NA "We admitted that we were powerless over our addction; that our lives had become unmanageable." To many this is just a matter of semantics, but for others this can be a powerful distinction.
