The NA program of recovery tells me that while I'm my own problem, I'm also my solution.
Have you ever felt like something else was controlling your life? In this episode of 'Promise of Recovery', Lauren Lansrud opens up about their personal battle with addiction and the transformative journey to find a higher power through the NA program. When Lauren first entered the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous, they realized that their addiction had become their higher power. Whether it was drugs, their girlfriend, chocolate, or coffee, anything that altered their mood was ruling their life.
The NA program taught them a hard truth: they were both the problem and the solution to their addiction. It wasn't an easy road. Lauren describes being newly clean but still miserable and angry, avoiding any feelings at all costs. The program helped them see that addiction is a form of voluntary madness, and they were always just one drug away from never coming back.
In recovery, Lauren discovered they no longer had to kneel to drugs or any other substance. They might not have known exactly what their higher power was, but they knew it wasn't them. With the tools and support from the NA program, Lauren found the strength to overcome their addiction and stay clean. Their story is a powerful reminder of the importance of finding guidance and support in life's toughest challenges.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, this episode offers hope and practical steps for recovery.
