It Works: How and Why
Narcotics Anonymous
First Edition — March 1994 Printing (3/94)
With Original Dust Jacket
Description
Offered here is It Works: How and Why, the foundational step-and-tradition commentary published by Narcotics Anonymous World Services, issued as a First Edition, March 1994 printing.
Originally released in 1993, It Works: How and Why was developed to provide a deeper, fellowship-approved exploration of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Narcotics Anonymous, expanding upon the principles outlined in earlier NA literature. This volume quickly became an essential study text in NA meetings, workshops, and personal recovery work.
This copy represents an early printing of the First Edition, identifiable by the “3/94” date code on the copyright page, and retains its original two-tone green and gold dust jacket featuring the NA circle-and-diamond emblem.
