JFT June 25 Not just lucky


"The process of coming to believe restores us to sanity.  The strength to move into action comes from this belief."

Basic Text, p. 25

=

Coming to believe is a process that stems from personal experience.  Each of us has this experience; all addicts who find recovery in NA have solid evidence of a benevolent Power acting for good in their lives.  Those of us who are recovering today, after all, are the fortunate ones.  Many, many addicts die from our disease, never to experience what we have found in Narcotics Anonymous.

The process of coming to believe involves a willingness to recognize miracles for what they are.  We share the miracle of being here clean, and each of us has other miracles that await only our acknowledgment.  How many car accidents or overdoses or other near-catastrophes have we survived?  Can we look back at our lives and see that we were not just "lucky"?  Our experience in recovery, too, gives us examples of a Higher Power working for our good.

When we can look back at the evidence of a loving Higher Power acting on our behalf, it becomes possible to trust that this Higher Power will continue to help us in the future.  And trust offers us the strength to move forward.

Just for today:  My recovery is more than coincidence.  My strength comes from the knowledge that my Higher Power has never let me down and will continue to guide me.
