Hi Tegan, welcome to Miracles In Progress. Glad we have you here with us.
I have found that falling back to simple basics of the NA program like making meetings, reading literature, starting the day with a Prayer, reaching out to at least one another recovering addict in NA, either f2f or over the phone or online has helped me get back to the spiritual condition where my perspective of where I am and where I could go remains real...
Keep sharing with us. We need you.
PEGGY!!! SO GLAD TO READ THOSE FAMILIAR WARM POSTS FULL OF HOPE AGAIN!!!
WELCOME BACK

As we recover, we do tend to replace our 'Vigilance' with 'Complacentcy'. It's ok IMO for a little while but only for a little while. I find it nice to be able to live life on life's terms without constantly reminding myself of my addiction and NA, but in the end after all is said and done, here is where I still end up. We must always be aware of our disease and give it the constant treatment it needs to stay arrested.
I know where you are coming from. I go in and out of what I call complacency. I try to tell myself I am busy, but the fact of the matter is that I just get too comfortable in my house. My sponsor wants me to do at least 3 meetings a week. I have been doing that, but am not willing to attend more. She suggested a 90/90 I said, No!!!!
I am realizing that you get out of it what you put in it. I have been around a little while and sometimes my sick mind tells me that I do not have to do what newcomers do. I have a network and sponosr who tell me when I am full of shit, This would be one of thoses times.
..lol ..go figure...
