"Daily practice of our Twelve Step program enables us to change from what we were to people guided by a Higher Power."

Basic Text, p. 86

=

Who have we been, and who have we become?  There are a couple of ways to answer this question.  One is very simple:  We came to Narcotics Anonymous as addicts, our addiction killing us.  In NA, we've been freed from our obsession with drugs and our compulsion to use.  And our lives have changed.

But that's only the tip of the iceberg.  Who have we really been?  In the past, we were people without power or direction.  We felt like we had no purpose, no reason for living.  Our lives didnt make any more sense to us than they did to our families, our friends, or our neighbors.

Who are we really becoming?  Today, we are not merely clean addicts, but people with a sense of direction, a purpose, and a Power greater than ourselves.  Through daily practice of the Twelve Steps, weve begun to understand how our addiction warped our feelings, motivations, and behavior.  Gradually, the destructive force of our disease has been replaced by the life-giving force of our Higher Power.

Recovery means more than cleaning up--it means powering up.  We have done more than shed some bad habits; we are becoming new people, guided by a Higher Power.

=

Just for today:  The guidance I need to become a new person is ready at hand.  Today, I will draw further away from my old lack of direction and closer to my Higher Power.

Each and everyday I use and work on the 12 Step Program is helps me get rid of my past addiction issues. Everyday I get further away from the wrong direction I was headed in and closer to the Higher Power.
