hmmm unity... that's talked about in our basic text
"personal recovery depends on NA unity" .... we all suffer from one disease and have the same goal recovery.......hmmmm that should be our main focus..... :)

When I finally realized that I could not stay clean alone, I truly surrendered to the NA way. Unity. It's a matter of life and death. Thanks for the reminder M.

Hey Manon,,Being an old swabby,I like how text puts it "We must live and work together as a group to ensure in a storm our ship does not sink and our members do not perish!! UNITY!!!!!
__________________
Our purpose is to remain clean,just for today,and to carry the message of recovery.
Without unity of purpose and keeping in mind what we together as a group have set out to do, I've come to realize that the way I think things must be or should be can turn out to be insignificant and even disadvantageous or counter-productive for my own recovery at times...

Manon. You have single handedly re-directed this entire divisive debate. If you ever had any doubt as to how valuable you are to this forum, let this single act of courage and clarity put that doubt to rest. You da bomb gurl.
