Contribution

We recognize our spiritual growth when we are able to reach out and help others.

Basic Text, p. 58

=

To make a difference in the world, to contribute something special, is perhaps the highest aspiration of the human heart. Each one of us, no matter what our personal makeup, has a unique quality to offer.

Chances are that at some time in our recovery we met someone who reached us when no one else could. Whether it was someone who made us laugh at our first meeting, a warm and compassionate sponsor, or an understanding friend who supported us through an emotional storm, that person made all the difference in the world.

All of us have had the gift of recovery shared with us by another recovering addict. For that, we are grateful. We express our gratitude by sharing freely with others what was given to us. The individual message we carry may help a newcomer only we can reach.

There are many ways to serve our fellowship. Each of us will find that we do some things better than others, but all service work is equally important. If we are willing to serve, were sure to find that particular way to contribute thats right for us.

Just for today: My contribution makes a difference. I will offer a helping hand today.

Friendships

Our friendships become deep, and we experience the warmth and caring which results from addicts sharing recovery and a new life.

IP No. 19, Self-Acceptance

=

Most of us come to Narcotics Anonymous with few genuine friends. And most of us arrive without the slightest understanding of what it takes to build lasting friendships. Over time, though, we learn that friendships require work. At one time or another, all friendships are challenging. Like any relationship, friendship is a learning process.

Our friends love us enough to tell us the truth about ourselves. The old saying, The truth will set you free, but first it will make you furious, seems especially true in friendship. This can make friendships awkward. We may find ourselves avoiding certain meetings rather than facing our friends. We have found, though, that friends speak out of concern for us. They want the best for us. Our friends accept us despite our shortcomings. They understand that we are still a work in progress.

Friends are there for us when were not there for ourselves. Friends help us gain valuable perspective on the events in our lives and our recovery. It is important that we actively cultivate friendships, for we have learned that we cannot recover alone.

=

Just for today: I will be grateful for the friends I have. I will take an active part in my friendships.

Facing death

Often we have to face some type of crisis during our recovery, such as the death of a loved one...

Basic Text, p. 102

=

Every life has a beginning and an end. However, when someone we love a great deal reaches the end of their life, we may have a very hard time accepting their sudden, final absence. Our grief may be so powerful that we fear it will completely overwhelm usbut it will not. Our sorrow may hurt more than anything we can remember, but it will pass.

We need not run from the emotions that may arise from the death of a loved one. Death and grieving are parts of the fullness of living life on lifes terms. By allowing ourselves the freedom to experience these feelings, we partake more deeply of both our recovery and our human nature.

Sometimes the reality of anothers death makes our own mortality that much more pronounced. We reevaluate our priorities, appreciating the loved ones still with us all the more. Our life, and our life with them, will not go on forever. We want to make the most of whats most important while it lasts.

We might find that the death of someone we love helps strengthen our conscious contact with our Higher Power. If we remember that we can always turn to that source of strength when we are troubled, we will be able to stay focused on it no matter what may be going on around us.

=

Just for today: I will accept the loss of one I love and turn to my Higher Power for the strength to accept my feelings. I will make the most of my love for those in my life today.

First things first

We apply effort to our most obvious problems and let go of the rest. We do the job at hand and, as we progress, new opportunities for improvement present themselves.

Basic Text, p. 56

=

Its been said that recovery is simpleall weve got to change is everything! That can seem a pretty tall order, especially when we first arrive in Narcotics Anonymous. After all, not many of us showed up at our first meeting because our lives were in great shape. On the contrary, a great many of us came to NA in the midst of the worst crises of our lives. We needed recovery, and quick!

The enormity of the change required in our lives can be paralyzing. We know we cant take care of all that needs to be done, not all at once. How do we start? Chances are, weve already started. Weve done the first, most obvious things that needed to be done: Weve stopped using drugs, and weve started going to meetings.

What do we do next? Pretty much the same thing, just more of it: From where we are, we do what we can. We walk the path of recovery by picking up our feet and taking the step thats right in front of us. Only when thats been accomplished must we concern ourselves with what comes next. Slowly but surely, well find ourselves making progress down the path, visibly drawing closer each day to becoming the kind of person wed like to be.

Just for today: I will walk the path of my recovery by taking the step right in front of me.

"How long do I have to go?"

The way to remain a productive, responsible member of society is to put our recovery first.

Basic Text, p. 106

=

The meetings have been great! Each night weve attended, weve gathered with other addicts to share experience, strength, and hope. And each day, weve used what weve learned in the meetings to continue in our recovery.

Meanwhile, life goes on. Work, family, friends, school, sport, entertainment, community activities, civic obligationsall call out for our time. The demands of everyday living sometimes make us ask ourselves, How long do I have to go to these meetings?

Lets think about this. Before coming to Narcotics Anonymous, could we stay clean on our own? What makes us think we can now? Then theres the disease itself to considerthe chronic self-centeredness, the obsessiveness, the compulsive behavior patterns that express themselves in so many areas of our lives. Can we live and enjoy life without effective treatment for our disease? No.

Ordinary people may not have to worry about such things, but were not ordinary peoplewere addicts. We cant pretend we dont have a fatal, progressive illness, because we do. Without our program, we may not survive to worry about the demands of work, school, family, or anything else. NA meetings give us the support and direction we need to recover from our addiction, allowing us to live the fullest lives possible.

Just for today: I want to live and enjoy life. To do that, I will put my recovery first.

Tell the truth

A symptom of our disease is alienation, and honest sharing will free us to recover.

Basic Text, p. 83

=

Truth connects us to life while fear, isolation, and dishonesty alienate us from it. As using addicts, we hid as much of the truth about ourselves from as much of the world as we possibly could. Our fear kept us from opening ourselves up to those around us, providing protection against what others might do if we appeared vulnerable. But our fear also kept us from connecting with our world. We lived like alien beings on our own planet, always alone and getting lonelier by the minute.

The Twelve Steps and the fellowship of recovering addicts give people like us a place where we can feel safe telling the truth about ourselves. We are able to honestly admit our frustrating, humbling powerlessness over addiction because we meet many others whove been in the same situationwere safe among them. And we keep on telling more of the truth about ourselves as we continue to work the steps. The more we do, the more truly connected we feel to the world around us.

Today, we need not hide from the reality of our relations with the people, places, and things in our lives. We accept those relationships just as they are, and we own our part in them. We take time every day to ask, Am I telling the truth about myself? Each time we do this, we draw that much further away from the alienation that characterizes our addiction, and that much closer to the freedom recovery can bring us.

=

Just for today: Truth is my connection to reality. Today, I will take time to ask myself, Am I telling the truth?

Up or down

This is our road to spiritual growth. We change every day.... This growth is not the result of wishing but of action and prayer.

Basic Text, p. 37

=

Our spiritual condition is never static; if its not growing, its decaying. If we stand still, our spiritual progress will lose its upward momentum. Gradually, our growth will slow, then halt, then reverse itself. Our tolerance will wear thin; our willingness to serve others will wane; our minds will narrow and close. Before long, well be right back where we started: in conflict with everyone and everything around us, unable to bear even ourselves.

Our only option is to actively participate in our program of spiritual growth. We pray, seeking knowledge greater than our own from a Power greater than ourselves. We open our minds and keep them open, becoming teachable and taking advantage of what others have to share with us. We demonstrate our willingness to try new ideas and new ways of doing things, experiencing life in a whole new way. Our spiritual progress picks up speed and momentum, driven by the Higher Power we are coming to understand better each day.

Up or downits one or the other, with very little in between, where spiritual growth is concerned. Recovery is not fueled by wishing and dreaming, weve discovered, but by prayer and action.

Just for today: The only constant in my spiritual condition is change. I cannot rely on yesterdays program. Today, I seek new spiritual growth through prayer and action.

Over time, not overnight

We found that we do not recover physically, mentally, or spiritually overnight.

Basic Text, p. 28

=

Have you ever approached a recovery celebration with the feeling that you should be further along in your recovery than you are? Maybe you have listened to newcomers sharing in meetings, members with much less clean time, and thought, But Im just barely beginning to understand what theyre talking about!

Its odd that we should come into recovery thinking that we will feel wonderful right away or no longer have any difficulty handling lifes twists and turns. We expect our physical problems to correct themselves, our thinking to become rational, and a fully developed spiritual life to manifest itself overnight. We forget that we spent years abusing our bodies, numbing our minds, and suppressing our awareness of a Higher Power. We cannot undo the damage in a day. We can, however, apply the next step, go to the next meeting, help the next newcomer. We heal and recover bit by bitnot overnight, but over time.

=

Just for today: My body will heal a little, my mind will become a little clearer, and my relationship with my Higher Power will strengthen.

Letting go of our limitations

We dont have to settle for the limitations of the past. We can examine and reexamine our old ideas.

Basic Text, p. 11

=

Most of us come to the program with a multitude of self-imposed limitations that prevent us from realizing our full potential, limitations that impede our attempts to find the values that lie at the core of our being. We place limitations on our ability to be true to ourselves, limitations on our ability to function at work, limitations on the risks were willing to takethe list seems endless. If our parents or teachers told us we would never succeed, and we believed them, chances are we didnt achieve much. If our socialization taught us not to stand up for ourselves, we didnt, even if everything inside us was screaming to do so.

In Narcotics Anonymous, we are given a process by which we can recognize these false limitations for what they are. Through our Fourth Step, well discover that we dont want to keep all the rules weve been taught. We dont have to be the lifelong victims of past experiences. We are free to discard the ideas that inhibit our growth. We are capable of stretching our boundaries to encompass new ideas and new experiences. We are free to laugh, to cry, and, above all, to enjoy our recovery.

=

Just for today: I will let go of my self-imposed limitations and open my mind to new ideas.

Difficult people

By giving unconditional love... we become more loving, and by sharing spiritual growth we become more spiritual.

Basic Text, p.103

=

Most of us have one or two exceptionally difficult people in our lives. How do we deal with such a person in our recovery?

First, we take our own inventory. Have we wronged this person? Has some action or attitude of ours served as an invitation for the kind of treatment they have given us? If so, we will want to clear the air, admit we have been wrong, and ask our Higher Power to remove whatever defects may prevent us from being helpful and constructive.

Next, as people seeking to live spiritually oriented lives, we approach the problem from the other persons point of view. They may be faced with any number of challenges we either fail to consider or know nothing about, challenges that cause them to be unpleasant. As its said, we seek in recovery to forgive rather than be forgiven; to understand rather than be understood.

Finally, if it is within our power, we seek ways to help others overcome their challenges without injuring their dignity. We pray for their well-being and spiritual growth and for the ability to offer them the unconditional love that has meant so much to us in our recovery.

We cannot change the difficult people in our lives, nor can we please everyone. But by applying the spiritual principles weve learned in NA, we can learn to love them.

=

Just for today: Higher Power, help me serve other people, not demand that they serve me.
