In my time in Narcotics Anonymous I developed a No Matter What Mentality early on. I experienced the depths of obsession, compulsion, denial & complete self centeredness without putting a single drug in my body. I chose a path that correlates well with the statement "all it takes is all you got." I chose a road that most don't even entertain the thought or idea of going down because just like the success rates of recovery, that road has equivalent numbers of people that end up completely lost without having reached their goal. I have worked this program damn near "perfectly" for short periods of time or so it would seem. Going to meetings, making stepwork/sponsorship a high priority, being of service formally/at large and making friends/staying connected. Keeping my head in our literature and other spiritually practical books. Most importantly seeking through prayer and meditation to improve my conscious contact with God. I still do all of those things regularly & diligently. I love this program with all that I am. I have adapted my life to NA not the other way around. I have undying/limitless gratitude towards my fellows, NA & God. Never will I forget or mistake the fact that I have a daily reprieve from the disease of addiction. In doing so I will seize the day and live it in acceptance, enjoyment, enthusiasm, love, compassion & empathy because today I have a choice. This is the life that I choose everyday of my life. As a result I have endless priceless gifts that only a sound body, mind & spirit can afford.
All Glory To God 🔷️ Love Is All Inclusive
