[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

Understanding and accepting ourselves is a gift of recovery. Autonomy allows us to express who we are with integrity and to carry a message: the truth of our own experience, in our own way. (Guiding Principals Tradition 4)

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

"This firsthand experience in all phases of illness and recovery is of unparalleled therapeutic value. We are here to share it freely with any addict who wants to recover."

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

Clarity and simplicity are keys to our message...Narcotics Anonymous, all by itself, is enough. We promise freedom from active addiction (Guiding Principles, Tradition Ten).

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

As our lives improve, our responsibilities increase. Freedom becomes much
more complicated, and much more beautiful. (Guiding Principals, 4th Tradition)

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

Recovery is an ongoing journey to freedom. When we live the NA program, we are constantly experiencing new opportunities
for growth, and also discovering our limitations.

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

Our real value is in being ourselves."

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

When we express the joy we have in living, it comes through in our movement, our work, the shine in our eyes. We have a beauty about us beyond the sum of our features. When we allow that spirit to shine through us, we are beautiful-
(Living Clean, Chapter 4)

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

"It is not where we were that counts, but where we are going."

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

"Most of us have no trouble admitting that addiction had become a destructive force in our lives. Our best efforts resulted in ever greater destruction and despair. At some point, we realized that we needed the help of some Power greater than our addiction."

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

We cannot change the nature of the addict or addiction.
We can help to change the old lie “Once an addict, always an addict,” by striving to make recovery more available. God, help us to remember this difference. (Preface, Basic Text)

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

We can hear NA
speak to us in words we understand, and experience the freedom our program promises, no matter who we are or where we are. (Guiding Principals, p. 112)

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

Our only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using, and our vision is that it will
be possible for every one of us to find recovery in our own language and culture.

[Lancaster PA NA @LancasterPANA1]

"It will not make us better people to judge the faults of another It will make us feel better to clean up our lives."
