ALL WE DID WAS SOW SOME SEEDS, AND WORKED AND WROUGHT TO MAKE THIS WORK, SO THAT WE AND OTHERS COULD LIVE IN PEACE, IN FREEDOM, AND IN LOVE
JIMMY K. 1982
THAT IS OUR MESSAGE: THAT AN ADDICT, ANY ADDICT CAN STOP USING DRUGS, LOSE THE DESIRE TO USE, AND FIND A NEW WAY TO LIVE
One of the continuing miracles of recovery is becoming a productive, responsible member of
society. We need to tread carefully into areas that exposee us to ego-inflating experience,
prestige, and manipulation that may be difficult for us.We have found that the way to remain
a productive, responsible member of society is to put our recovery first N.A.can survive
without us, but we cannot survive without N.A
Narcotics Anonymous offers only one promise and that is freedom from active addiction, thae solution that
eluded us for so long . We will be freed from our self made prisons.
Living just for today, we have no way of knowing what will happen to us. We are often amazed at how things
work out for us. We are recovering in the here and now and the future becomes an exciting journey. If we had
written down our list of expectations when we came to the program, we would have been
cheating ourselves. Hopeless living problems have become joyously changed. our disease is
arrested, and now anything is possible.
We become increasingly open-minded and open to neew ideas in all areas of our lives.
Through active listening, we hear things that work for us. This ability to listen is a gift and
grows as we grow spiritually. Life take on new meaning when we open ourselves to this gift
In order to recieve, we must first be willing to give...
...Spirituality enables us to live life to its fullest, feeling grateful for who we are and for what
we have done in life. Since the beginning of our recovery, we have found that joy doesn't
come from material things, but from within ourselves. We find that when we lose
self-obsession, we are able to understand what it means to be happy, joyous, and free.
Indescribable joy comes from sharing from the heart, we no longer need to lie to gain
acceptance.
Narcotics Anonymous offers addicts a program of recovery that is more than just a lilfe
without drugs. Not only is this way of life better than the hell we lived, it is better than any life
we have ever known
We have found a way out, and see it works for others. Each day MORE WILL BE REVEALED
