Pancake Marathon:

I do have what it takes, but through anger I'll Never See that into fruition: what would the thought process within manifestation: as manifestation is just a fancy way of saying the life that you're living now: as if we put it in recovery terms that is your strength but now moment the God moment the power moment: a moment when you actually get to take action upon every moment that you have ever interacted with from what could simply be called the past; as still it comes to the very simple fact, that life gives you everything and yet it's up to you to pick it up or to trip over it and pick it up later cuz you're still going to need that tool…. for a simply to say if you used a different tool that is not meant for that purpose, you'll break that tool faster; so it's always at a moment in time to maintain keep your peace of mind and not that anger go because there is no solution within the pain so you will not gain what it is that you're asking for other than to keep on tripping and then to Simply say it comes down to getting back up it's it's It's not how you started it's how you finish: yet if you leave before the miracle happens and hit the brakes before you even start the car you'll never be able to see the beauty within because you never showed up other than getting angry and finding nothing but pain.

Halt when I start to see that I get to have this love for the next to come, Cultivate an attitude of gratitude helps me to see How Important Is It; keeps me at a point in being able to see Just for Today: as I like to think of it as just for this moment, as how i can have this hope in seeing that fear is nothing but a thing to come to trust…..as it’s all in time that I get to see that: its about being able to ” Don’t take yourself too seriously!” and Don't quit before the miracle happens.

"On a practical level, changes occur because what's appropriate to one phase of recovery may not be for another." Basic Text p. 101
When we first came to Narcotics Anonymous, many of us had no legitimate occupation. Not all of us suddenly decide we're going to become honest and productive model citizens the moment we arrive in NA. But we soon find, in recovery, that we are not so comfortable doing many of the things we once did without a second thought when we were using.
As we grow in our recovery, we begin to be honest in matters that probably hadn't bothered us when we used. We start returning extra change a cashier may have given us by mistake, or admitting when we hit a parked car. We find that if we can begin to be honest in these small ways the bigger tests of our honesty become much easier to handle.
Many of us came here with very little capacity to be honest. But we find that as we work the Twelve Steps, our lives begin to change. We are no longer comfortable when we benefit at the expense of others. And we can feel good about our newfound honesty.
Just for today: I will examine the level of honesty in my life and see if I'm comfortable with it.

We were having trouble with personal relationships, we couldn't control our emotional natures, we were a prey to misery and depression, we couldn't make a living, we had a feeling of uselessness, we were full of fear, we were unhappy, we couldn't seem to be of real help to other people. . . . ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 52
These words remind me that I have more problems than alcohol, that alcohol is only a symptom of a more pervasive disease. When I stopped drinking I began a lifetime process of recovery from unruly emotions, painful relationships, and unmanageable situations.
This process is too much for most of us without help from a Higher Power and our friends in the Fellowship.
When I began working the Steps of the A.A. program, many of these tangled threads unraveled but, little by little, the most broken places of my life straightened out. One day at a time, almost imperceptibly, I healed. Like a thermostat being turned down, my fears diminished. I began to experience moments of contentment. My emotions became less volatile. I am now once again a part of the human family.
