We have learned that it is okay to not know all the answers, for then we are teachable and can learn to live our new life successfully.

In a way, addiction is a great teacher. And if addiction teaches us nothing else, it will teach us humility. We hear it said that it took our very best thinking to get to NA. Now that were here, were here to learn.
The NA Fellowship is a wonderful learning environment for the recovering addict. We arent made to feel stupid at meetings. Instead, we find others whove been exactly where weve been and whove found a way out. All we have to do is admit that we dont have all the answers, then listen as others share whats worked for them.
As recovering addicts and as human beings, we have much to learn. Other addictsand other humanshave much to teach us about what works and what doesnt. As long as we remain teachable, we can take advantage of the experience of others.

Just for today: I will admit that I dont have all the answers. I will look and listen to the experience of others for the answers I need.
Recovery is a personal path. To know I must first not know. And in knowing know I know not. Each personal enlightenment found exploring the many divergent footsteps of those who have gone before.
