and about addicts, this is the hardcover edition of the book that sets forth the spiritual principles of Narcotics Anonymous that hundreds of thousands of addicts have used in recovery.

Just as with alcoholism, there is no "cure" for narcotic addiction, but recovery is possible through a program adapted from the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Intended as a complete textbook for every addict seeking recovery, Narcotics Anonymous describes the NA program and how it works. It includes the NA Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, as well as many personal stories of people who have found freedom from addiction through Narcotics Anonymous.
