Pancake Marathon:

It's within this moment that I see that I get to be an active part of my recovery, building doors and not walls; being able to see that I have this ability, the wisdom within me to understand that I've always had this ability, that it was me that was running from the life that I created. me trying to dig myself out of the hole, today I realized that all it takes is for me to dig a little bit to the side so that I can have an easier way of climbing out of that hole that I have created, simply to say this life that today I no longer want to run from; for I know this is a spiritual program and in that this being a spiritual program I know that ultimately it's spiritual matters over physical facts of religious upbringings, that will get me through this, ultimately I know that to stay teachable letting go of that pain and finding my way through each moment is the key to staying in active part of my recovery practicing all principles in all my affairs.

"From the isolation of our addiction, we find a fellowship of people with a common bond... Our faith, strength, and hope come from people sharing their recovery..." Basic Text, pg.94-95
Admit no weakness, conceal all shortcomings, deny every failure, go it alone-that was the creed many of us followed. We denied that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable, despite all evidence to the contrary. Many of us took our First Step only when we had evidence that addicts could recover in Narcotics Anonymous.
In NA, we find others who've been in the same predicament, with the same needs, who've found tools that work for them. These addicts are willing to share those tools with us and gibe us the emotional support we need as we learn to use them. Recovering addicts know how important the help of others can be because they've been given that help themselves. When we become a part of Narcotics Anonymous, we join a society of addicts like ourselves, a group of people who know that we help one another recover.
Just for today: I will join in the bond of recovery. I will find the experience, strength, and hope I need in the Fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous.

I try hard to hold fast to the truth that a full and thankful heart cannot entertain certain 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
I believe that we in Alcoholics Anonymous are fortunate in that we are constantly reminded of the need to be grateful and of how important gratitude is in our sobriety. I am truly grateful for the sobriety God has given me through the A.A. program and am glad I can give back what was given to me freely. I am grateful not only for sobriety, but for the quality of life my sobriety has brought. God has been gracious enough to give me sober days and a life blessed with peace and contentment, as well as the ability to give and receive love, and the opportunity to serve others -- in our Fellowship, my family and community. For all of this, I have "a full and thankful heart."
