Welcome to the Grey Book Index

This is a formatted version of the original approval copy  nicknamed "The Grey Book". It was circulated in 1981 just prior to the Basic Text's 1st printing. I suggest you read the History Page for more information. The formatting of this document was done by me only to assist in its' readability. Other than spell check, the content was not altered. Many thanks to those that helped with their valuable input, especially Bill in Alaska and the group at NArchives.

Occassionally, when a group of people come together with a common purpose and spirit, great things occur. This was the case in the writing of this draft. Perhaps the best literature about healing from addiction ever written, the care and empathy shine through on every page. This is what Narcotics Anonymous is all about.
