Outside Issue/A drug is a drug

NA believes that a drug is a drug is a drug. AA believes that drugs other than alcohol is an outside interest although I know many in AA support the NA belief. What do yall think? Do drugs transfer? As an alcoholic am I more susecptible to addiction to say, heroin or other drugs? My *personal* experience tells me no---but I certainly have not pushed the envelope on that one. You?

It's not important as to what NA believes, though we all should probably check our beliefs. The point is, we hold on to some beliefs that are true and others that are based on falsehoods.

Alcoholics Anonymous is and was founded with a principle that works.
And that principle is that we stop being self-centered.
Now that principle may work in all other addictions, Thanks to the point it is the self gratification of the flesh at work.

It is the very root to all our addictions: SELF.
You could say; SELF-GRATIFICATION is the only drug of choice.
