“Addiction is a disease that does not discriminate, and neither does the program of NA… Our members come from every walk of life. We are not contained within political or geographic boundaries, nor are we limited by any individual differences in faith or philosophy. No matter what conflicts are unfolding in the world at large, we aspire to an ideal of unity: Our common welfare should come first. Our text explains that this unity of purpose helps us “to achieve the true spirit of anonymity” where all of us are equal as members of this group. With that as our foundation, we as individual recovering addicts are each able to find our own distinct voice and to sing a song that is uniquely ours.”
Preface to the Basic Text 6th Edition, BT pg xvii & xix
