Daily Readings and Inspirations

Daily Reflections: COMMITMENT 

1. Understanding is the key to right principles and attitudes, and right action is the key to good living. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 125 

2. There came a time in my program of recovery when the third stanza of the Serenity Prayer -- "The  wisdom to know the difference" -- 

3. became indelibly imprinted in my mind. From that time on, I had to face the ever-present knowledge that  my every action, word and thought was within, or outside, the principles of the program. I could no longer hide behind self-rationalization, nor behind the insanity of my disease. The only course open to  me, if I was to attain a joyous life for myself (and subsequently for those I love), was one in which I imposed on myself an effort of commitment, discipline, and responsibility. 

NA Just For Today:  Faithful Feelings 

1. "When we refuse to accept the reality of today we are denying faith in our Higher Power. This can only  bring more suffering." IP No. 8, "Just for Today" 

2. Some days just aren't the way we wish they would be. Our problems may be as simple as a broken  shoelace or having to stand in line at the supermarket. Or we may experience something far more serious,  such as the loss of a job, a home, or a loved one. Either way, we often end up looking for a way to avoid  our feelings instead of simply acknowledging that those feelings are painful. 

3. No one promises us that everything will go our way when we stop using. In fact, we can be sure that life  will go on whether we're using or not. We will face good days and bad days, comfortable feelings and  painful feelings. But we don't have to run from any of them any longer.

4. We can experience pain, grief, sadness, anger, frustration- all those feelings we once avoided with drugs.  We find that we can get through those emotions clean. We won't die and the world won't come to an end  just because we have uncomfortable feelings. We learn to trust that we can survive what each day brings. 

5. Just for today: I will demonstrate my trust in God by experiencing this day just as it is.

From myself

In times when we see the pain that we have we see that we get to live life on life trems, it’s only then we can see that life is a joyous thing if we let go of the pain; to be able to build within the solution and adding a door to the walls that we built, and find a level of unity.
