What addicts have in common is not the same drug of choice but a physical craving and mental obsession for mood-altering substances or behaviors.
Addiction is their shared problem and powerlessness is their common ground
“Addicts have an obsession with drugs or behaviors that forces them to use against their will,”
“We have lost our choice to use or not use drugs or behaviors of choice. We continue to use despite the negative consequences of our addiction. We can cry, promise and swear, but we use again.
GA,NA,AA,SLA,OA restores our choice, just for today.”
Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.
