In Narcotics Anonymous, we rely on a loving God as He ex- presses Himself in our group conscience, rather than on personal opinion or ego. , By working the steps, we learn to depend on a Power greater than ourselves, and to use this Power for our group purposes. , We must be constantly on guard that our decisions are truly an expression of God’s will. , There is often a vast difference between group conscience and group opinion, as dictated by powerful personalities or popularity. , Some of our most painful growing experiences have come as a result of decisions made in the name of group conscience. , True spiritual principles are never in conflict; they complement each other. , The spiritual conscience of a group will never contradict any of our Traditions. , The Second Tradition concerns the nature of leadership in NA. , We have learned that for our Fellowship, leadership by example and by selfless service works. , Direction and manipulation fail. We choose not to have presidents, masters, or directors. , Instead we have secretaries, treasurers and representatives. These titles imply service rather than control. , Our experience shows that if a group becomes an extension of the personality of a leader or member, it loses its effectiveness. , An atmosphere of recovery in our groups is one of our most valued assets, and we must guard it carefully, lest we lose it to politics and personalities. , Those of us who have been involved in service or in getting a group started sometimes have a hard time letting go. , Egos, un- founded pride, and self-will destroy a group if given authority. We must remember that offices have been placed in trust, that we are trusted servants, and that at no time do any of us gov- ern. , Narcotics Anonymous is a God-given program, and we can maintain our group in dignity only with group conscience and God’s love. , Some will resist. However, many will become the role models for the newcomers. , The self-seekers soon find that they are on the outside, causing dissension and eventually disaster for them- selves. , Many of them change; they learn that we can only be gov- erned by a loving God as expressed in our group conscience..
