JFT May 21 Keep coming back!


  

Meetings keep us in touch with where weve been, but more importantly, with where we could go in our recovery.

Basic Text, p. 56

In many ways, addicts are different.  When we came to Narcotics Anonymous we found others like ourselves, people who understood us and whom we could understand.  No longer did we feel like aliens, strangers wherever we went.  We were at home in NA meetings, among friends.

We dont stop being addicts after weve been clean awhile.  We still need to identify with other addicts.  We continue coming to NA meetings to keep in touch with who we are, where weve come from, and where were going.  Every meeting reminds us that we can never use drugs successfully.  Every meeting reminds us that well never be cured, but that by practicing the principles of the program we can recover.  And every meeting offers us the experience and example of other addicts in ongoing recovery.

At meetings, we see how different people work their program, and the results are apparent in their lives.  If we want the lives we see others living, we can find out what theyve done to get where they are.  Narcotics Anonymous meetings offer us identification with where weve been and where we can goidentification we cant do without and cant get anywhere else.  That keeps us coming back.

Just for today:  I will attend an NA meeting to remind myself of who I am, where Ive come from, and where I can go in my recovery.

I realize how important meeting attendance is.I have been hurt real bad for six months .It is real hard to walk and climb stairs. I know when I'm at a meeting I feel the feeling of being clean and the power of the Higher Power in my body. That saying Keep Coming Back has always been a key saying in m mind. I know where I came from and I never want to visit that place again ever.
