I have recently noticed post being posted with the wrong intentions this board to carry the message to the still suffering addict to meet and greet other addicts. I n noticing this I have seen posts posted outta sheer vingence that blurs the NA name.I suggest thtat post of this type be carefully reconsidered and if outside issues are at hand as they seem to be in the post i have read then it has an appropriate place here is not it. I am here to strengthen my recovery not to bring others down the things we say to suffering addicts need to be in love not vingence. There is no place for it here I always say it is hard to be hateful when u are grateful it is true So I hope that you out there find peace in knowing the 12 steps provide a new way to live without resentment and fear and anger. The admission of powelessness is a great start.
Welp maybe we can help them wade thru the BS and get to the main objective Manon.
Some of us come in pretty messed up hell i'm still pretty damned messed up sometimes and need help wading thru and past all my BS.
But you are absolutely right the steps help us to recover from not only drug addiction but other maladys that effect us spiritually emotionally and mentally so thats what each person needs to focus on. We need to learn to start living by spiritual principles.
I really had to grab hold of these principles recently and it was a newcomer that helped remind me of that, I had to go into the literature and FIND what I could do differently and let me tell you my life today is so much better by taking that course of action rather then what i normally do.
Thankyou Manon for staying ontop of things here and remaining motivated, you are a big part of keeping this whole thing alive, for that I am greatful for you.
ty vini I appriciatre being appriciated today I am grateful to have a place I can give back what has been given to me and was given freely if you don't want it you can always give it back. JFT has a new meaning to me today I had a near death experience due to my health knowing that my next breathe is not a guarentee makes me hold tighter to whatI have learned to aplly it knowing it could be the last thingthat I share. So if any one is reading this and you have not been told you are loved today I love you
