JFT April 10 Too busy


 

 

We must use what we learn or we will lose it, no matter how long we have been clean.

Basic Text, p. 85

=

After putting some clean time together, some of us have a tendency to forget what our most important priority is.  Once a week or less we say, I've gotta get to a meeting tonight.  It's been...  Weve been caught up in other things, important for sure, but no more so than our continued participation in Narcotics Anonymous.

It happens gradually.  We get jobs.  We reunite with our families.  We're raising children, the dog is sick, or we're going to school at night.  The house needs to be cleaned.  The lawn needs to be mowed.  We have to work late.  Were tired.  Theres a good show at the theater tonight.  And all of a sudden, we notice that we havent called our sponsor, been to a meeting, spoken to a newcomer, or even talked to God in quite a while.

What do we do at this point?  Well, we either renew our commitment to our recovery, or we continue being too busy to recover until something happens and our lives become unmanageable.  Quite a choice!  Our best bet is to put more of our energy into maintaining the foundation of recovery on which our lives are built.  That foundation makes everything else possible, and it will surely crumble if we get too busy with everything else.

=

Just for today:  I can't afford to be too busy to recover.  I will do something today that sustains my recovery.

It is very true , the reading for today. If we get to busy we may lose what has taken us a while to achieve . Losing our recovery might be like losing ones life .
