[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4824953, member: 18222"] I have been attending NA and AA for 3 1/2 years now. I have not drank alcohol since July 2017. Abstinence is not Recovery. The reason I really appreciate NA (and the Twelve Steps program) is not the sobriety but the way I feel about myself. I still suffer from occasional depression but with the support of my NA Family and the principles taught in 12 Steps, I am able to manage my feelings about myself and depression. Recovery is the real goal of any 12 Step program but getting clean first is the key to begin the road to Recovery. Recovery means many things but one I hear a lot and I feels is. "Recovery is commonly defined as the process of getting better from an illness or otherwise returning to a state of physical and especially 'mental health'." People working in the alcohol and other drug field have different views about the idea of recovery and there is little agreement about what it means and involves or how to assess it. [/QUOTE]
