JFT July 27 We do recover


 

 

"After coming to NA, we found ourselves among a very special group of people who have suffered like us and found recovery.  In their experiences, freely shared, we found hope for ourselves.  If the program worked for them, it would work for us."

Basic Text, p. 10

=

A newcomer walks into his or her first meeting, shaking and confused.  People are milling about.  Refreshments and literature are set out.  The meeting starts after everyone has drifted over to their chairs and settled themselves in.  After taking a bewildered glance at the odd assortment of folks in the room, the newcomer asks, "Why should I bet my life on this group?  After all, theyre just a bunch of addicts like me."

Though it may be true that not many of our members had much going for us when we got here, the newcomer soon learns that the way we are living today is what counts.  Our meetings are filled with addicts whose lives have turned completely around.  Against all odds, we are recovering.  The newcomer can relate to where weve been and draw hope from where we are now.  Today, every one of us has the opportunity to recover.

Yes, we can safely entrust our lives to our Higher Power and to Narcotics Anonymous.  So long as we work the program, the payoff is certain: freedom from active addiction and a better way of life.

Just for today:  The recovery I've found in Narcotics Anonymous is a sure thing.  By basing my life on it, I know I will grow.
