From myself

In this level of self care (that we never had before) we get to see that life is about doing what is needed, to give peace and not hold on to the past hurt; it is in that we can love what we have to give: for that is who we are, that is what we can do.  Only by the fact of this care can we have a peace of mind to give, if we give it away and it comes back to us, then we get to keep it with care this time; and in that we will be able to live again(as at times, it is our first time that we lived in the first place.).

Daily Readings and Inspirations

Daily Reflections: A THANKFUL HEART 

1. I try to hold fast to the truth that a full and thankful heart cannot entertain great conceits. When brimming with gratitude, one's heartbeat must surely result in outgoing love, the finest emotion that we can ever know. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 37 

2. My sponsor told me that I should be a grateful alcoholic and always have "an attitude of gratitude"--that gratitude was the basic ingredient of humility, that humility was the basic ingredient of anonymity, and  that 

3. "anonymity was the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities." As a result of his guidance, I start every morning on my knees, thanking God for three things: I'm alive, I'm sober, and I'm a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Then I try to live an "attitude of gratitude" and thoroughly enjoy another twenty-four hours  of the A.A. way of life. A.A. is not something I joined; it's something I live. 

NA Just For Today: A New Influence

1. "Personality change was what we really needed. Change from self-destructive patterns of life became  necessary." Basic Text, p. 15 

2. In early life, most of us were capable of joy and wonder, of giving and receiving unconditional love.  When we started using, we introduced an influence into our lives that slowly drove us away from those things. The further  we were pushed down the path of addiction, the further we withdrew from joy, wonder, and love. 

3. That journey was not taken overnight. But however long it took, we arrived at the doors of NA with more  than just a drug problem. The influence of addiction had warped our whole pattern of living beyond recognition. 

4. The Twelve Steps work miracles, its true, but not many of them are worked overnight. Our disease slowly  influenced our spiritual development for the worse. Recovery introduces a new influence to our lives, a source of  fellowship and spiritual strength slowly impelling us into new, healthy patterns of living. 

5. This change, of course, doesn't "just happen." But if we cooperate with the new influence NA has brought  to our lives, over time we will experience the personality change we call recovery. The Twelve Steps provide us with  a program for the kind of cooperation required to restore joy, wonder, and love to our lives. 

6. Just for today: I will cooperate with the new influence of fellowship and spiritual strength NA has  introduced to my life, I will work the next step in my program.
