Recovering addicts dealing with chronic illness
Recovery
does
not
guarantee
us
freedom
from
living
life
on
life’s
terms.
In
Narcotics
Anonymous
we
can
learn
to
accept
the
reality
of
life,
which
sometimes
brings
us
illness
or
injury.
We’ve
learned
in
NA
that
we
can
apply
spiritual
principles
to
help
us
get
through
these
difficult
times.
When
we
admit
that
we
are
powerless,
we
can
accept
our
illness
and
any
necessary
medical
treatment.
It
may
help
to
admit
that
we
are
also
powerless
over
the
feelings
we
experience
when
we
are
ill.
Illness
or
injury
is
stressful,
and
stress
can
place
us
at
risk
of
relapse.
Often,
we
need
the
NA
program
even
more
when
we
are
faced
with
illness.
We
can
prepare
ourselves
for
these
stressful
times
by
doing
our
best
each
day
to
lay
a
strong
foundation
in
recovery.
The
steps
we
take
today
will
serve
us
well
when
we
need
them.
Coming
to
terms
with
illness
is
a
process.
It
is
a
process
in
which
we
often
experience
denial,
bargaining,
anger,
grief,
surrender,
and
acceptance.
However,
it’s
comforting
to
realize
that
these
stages
are
a
normal
part
of
this
process.
Acceptance
of
something
does
not
necessarily
mean
we
like
it—we
can
dislike
something
and
still
accept
it.

Times
of
Illness
This
is
NA
Fellowship-approved
literature.
