Understanding Tradition 10: Narcotics Anonymous and Outside Issues

But we don't, because our opinion is that this is the way that works and we're not so sure if those ways do or not.
Ever wondered why Narcotics Anonymous (NA) steers clear of outside issues? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason tackle the often misunderstood 10th tradition of NA, which states that the organization has no opinion on external matters. They dig into what this means for the fellowship and its members, questioning whether it's realistic to have no opinions at all.
Do we really need to stay neutral about everything, especially when it comes to effective treatment methods? Billy and Jason explore these questions, sharing their own recovery journeys and how they've navigated the complexities of maintaining unity while embracing diverse personal opinions. They also touch on the controversy surrounding drug replacement therapy and the role of spiritual principles in guiding recovery.
This episode isn't just about rules—it's about understanding the deeper purpose behind them and how they help create a supportive, inclusive community. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, you'll find plenty of food for thought here.
