From Pancake Marathon:
Far there are moments, that seem fleeting, they seem like they last forever: yes there is a thing such as called as a fractal, a fractal in the simplest form of an explanation is something that is of itself, that you can zoom in and out upon it and it will be the same looking no matter what level, be that called zooming in and out; as yet life is about seeing roof fractals upon itself to have a spiritual awakening, and have this idea of faith: essentially faith is Hope which can be understood in ways of what is a future ( yes to me future doesn't necessarily exist, other than an easier way of saying one word instead of saying 50 in a sensuality, essentially instead of saying a change from this moment to this moment, we just say the future, unless you need to be taught what that may be then it is appropriate to say 50 words instead of the some word of one, and yet if you need to be preached at/ which is essentially being reminded, then it may seem daunting to go and talk about the 50 words instead of just saying and referring to the one word that sums up the 50, for a centrality of fridge is the some word of the 50, you know where it's located and all of the above), as yet going back to the fleeting moment, I think it's best understood that if you do not see a cheetah then you are not an immediate Danger, but if you do spot the cheetah before spots you, do not hesitate other than to start running essentially do not wait or be patient for what is the best out your motivational best to see if it comes theirs, it's a cheetah it's already spotted you, so it's never how you start it's how you finish but if you never show up to start then have you ever really finished and if you never really finished is there really an end other than ending up in the same situation with a fleeting moment that seems like forever.
So I would say in essence but now moment is really the only moment, and in that moment the power moment the God moment a moment that essentially sums up the other moments by the some word of a spiritual awakening; for it's in these moments that we are actually able to do something, now what you do is up to you but I know through understanding and a situation that's all about how you finish never how you start, essentially focusing on the message and not the messenger.

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude is what we do within recovery, we find a sense of happiness, a moment to smile about: when we look back at the times we get to be part of our life, by gift of the god that we have come to understand: what is our peace of mind in the higher power that we have now; seeing the hope that we have and the trust that we now get to give. Knowing that God doesn't make junk and that we get to see that How Important Is It to see that in the feelings we have: can only be see as Feelings are not facts, because it is the simple fact that we are new to the feeling side of life, its in that we get to see that we must give Hugs not Drugs by the simple fact that Nothing changes if nothing changes as it is in that we must q-tip at times so we can see the wisdom of what helps us to stop going nuts and to see that we have to push, in praying for the able to think seeing that it is this time that we mush Give time time having the level of Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less that Misery is optional and that taking it One Day At A Time by putting Principles before personalities.

NA Just For Today: Rationalizing Away Our Recovery
"As a result of the Twelve Steps, I'm not able to hold on to old ways of deceiving myself." Basic Text, pg. 176
We all rationalize. Sometimes we know we are rationalizing, admit we are rationalizing, yet continue to behave according to our rationalizations! Recovery can become very painful when we decide that, for one reason or another, the simple principals of the program don't apply to us.
With the help of our sponsors and others in NA we can begin to look at the excuse we use for our behavior. Do we find that some principals just don't apply to us? Do we believe that we know more that everyone else in Narcotics Anonymous, even those who have been clean for many years? What makes us think that we're so special
There is no doubt, we can successfully rationalize our way through part of our recovery. But, eventually, we must squarely face the truth and start acting accordingly. The principals in the Twelve Steps guide us to a new life in recovery. There is little room for rationalization there.
Just for today: I cannot work the steps and also continue deceiving myself. I will examine my thinking for rationalizations, reveal them to my sponsor, and be rid of them.
Daily Reflections: THE IDEA OF FAITH
Do not let any prejudice you might have against spiritual terms deter you from honestly asking yourself what they mean to you. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 47
The idea of faith is a very large chunk to swallow when fear, doubt and anger abound in and around me. Sometimes just the idea of doing something different, something I am not accustomed to doing, can eventually become an act of faith if I do it regularly, and do it without debating whether it's the right thing to do. When a bad day comes along and everything is going wrong, a meeting or a talk with another drunk often distracts me just enough to persuade me that everything is not quite as impossible, as overwhelming as I had thought. In the same way, going to a meeting or talking to a fellow alcoholic are acts of faith; I believe I'm arresting my disease. These are ways I slowly move toward faith in a Higher Power.
