There is a new preface but the original preface will be called "preface to the 1st edition". There were some other changes to the structure of the book, including the layout and flow of the book, while keeping the original message clear and unchanged. The task of choosing these stories was handed down from the World Service Office, to Regional meetings, to Area Service Committee meetings and then to the individual home group meetings, were each member had a chance to review the new text.

If you have a problem with using drugs and don't know how to stop, this book was written for you by people just like you who are clean. Narcotics Anonymous is a 12 Step Program open to anyone who has the desire to stop using. There are no membership fees or dues, no pledges to make, no promises to keep with anyone. The Basic Text was originally written in 1966 and has changed in size and format several times. Today, millions of people are living clean, one day at a time, through the help of fellow recovering addicts in the program. Read it and Try it, it might save your life!
For anyone who has been in recovery & relapsed or is trying to recover from addiction or for that matter someone trying to understand addiction, this is easily one of the best tried & true books ever marketed. It can be a positive step in right direction and helps addicts understand that they are not alone; there's no shame in asking for help & there really is help available from others who understand what it's like. The first part of this book is self-help steps to getting drug-free and the second part tells life stories from addicts both pre & post addiction. It includes harrowing tales of those with the strongest/longest addictions, the hell of rehab facilities, jails & prisons, the triumph in overcoming addiction and the much needed support from NA (narcotics anonymous) with additional help from sponsors found at NA meetings. Throughout this awesome book of help and healing from addiction is a constant reminder to take each day just one step at a time with mottos such as "JUST FOR TODAY". You can worry about tomorrow when it gets here. If you can stay clean just for today, you're a success. If you can't do it for a day, try half a day. You can do it "just for today". Additionally, this book has great resources listed in the back of the book to aid in the road to recovery. For any addict reading this review, you are not alone, addiction does not discriminate, there is help available and you can do it. The Narcotics Anonymous book is written for you, others who are like you, and those that will surely come after you. Get this book, find a meeting, take a step - just for today! I'm a mom of a an addict who began using at just 12 y/o & reeled out of control so quickly at 13 that I felt my only option was a rehab facility in order to save my son. Due to the increasing problems w/our managed health care system, we were turned down because "he didn't meet the criteria". Not willing to give up, I found local chapters of NA & AA (narcotics & alcoholics anonymous) and began taking him to each of the meetings daily. Were it not for the guidance/support from both NA & AA, I'm certain I would have lost my son at some point. He just celebrated his 14th birthday, is back in school & actually participates, and has even had one of his friends decide to follow suit and just last night surprised us when he showed up at our nightly NA meeting and asked for help overcoming his addictions. It's so ironic because this kid was my son's biggest drug source for the past year or so. I'm proud of both of them and hope that the example they set will affect others of all ages in a positive fashion.Vollständige Rezension lesen
WHEN A SELLER HERE ON E-BAY COMES ACROSS A BOOK IN A GOODWILL STORE THEY WANT TO SELL HERE ON E-BAY , THEY SEARCH E-BAY LISTINGS AND SEE HOW MUCH THEYGO FOR, AND THINK THEY HAVE A GOLD MINE! THEY BECOME MIS-GUIDED AT THE VALUE OF THE ONE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE IN THEIR HANDS. YES, OLDER EDITIONS ARE SELLING AT A PREMIUM, BUT THE ONES COMMONLY SOLD ON THIS PART OF E-BAY ARE UN-EDUCATED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES IN THE EDITIONS-SOOOO.. THEY ENTER THE ISBN NUMBER, AND OUT POPS "4TH EDITION" (BECAUSE IT'S E-BAY'S INCORRECT DEFAULT INFO) BUT THEY DON'T SPECIFY IT'S INCORRECT!. THEN THE BUYER GETS ANGRY WHEN THEY RECIEVE A FIFTH EDITION THAT CAN BE FOUND DIRT CHEAP ANYWHERE IN ANY BOOKSTORE. REASON FOR MY RANT??? I HAVE BEEN SOLD BOOKS FROM REGULAR BOOKSELLERS (THAT HAVE NO IDEA WE COLLECT PREMIUM COPIES OF THE BASIC TEXT, AND A.A. MEMORBILIA)THAT WERE DESCRIBED AS "MINT" AND "lIKE NEW" AND THEY COME, AND THERE WATER DAMAGED, THE WRONG EDITION, WRITTEN IN....AND- ASK SELLER TO ID THE BOOK BEFORE BUYING,AND THEY GET SNOTTY AND SAY "IT'S IN THE DESCRIPTION" YOU CAN'T READ? JUST BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE SURE WHAT WERE BUYING. ALSO, MOST OF THE TIME THEY DON'T EVEN SPRING FOR THE .15 CENTS FOR A PICTURE, AND DON'T EVEN DESCRIBE THE BOOK AT ALL. BOTTOM LINE..IF YOU NOT SURE ABOUT THESE COLLECTABLE RECOVERY BOOKS, GO BACK TO STEVEN KING BOOKS, AND ROMANCE NOVELS. EITHER THAT, OR DON'T GET MAD WHEN WE ASK ABOUT THE BOOK YER USING A STOCK PHOTO TO SHOW!Vollständige Rezension lesen
