To find Surrender, i had to experience degradation.
To find Acceptance, i had to experience helplessness.

JUST FOR TODAY i will have faith in someone in N.A. who believes in me and wants to help me in my recovery.
JUST FOR TODAY i will have a program. i will try to follow it to the best of my ability.
JUST FOR TODAY through N.A. i will try to get a better perspective on my life.
JUST FOR TODAY i will be unafraid, my thoughts will be on my new associations, people who are not using and who have found a new way of life. So long as i follow that way, i have nothing to fear.

Manipulation and control are now seen as the broken toys of my immaturity. Life takes on new meaning and i realize that i am free. Not just of the problems i had with drugs and alcohol, but also of the self centered nature of all my defects of character. i no longer have to defend myself against fear, denial, or rejection. i can be exactly who i am without an overwhelming need to be understood by anybody. The process of recovery has brought me to an even greater reality which i call the process of life. i recognize that a daily relationship with the God of my understanding helps to equip me for the journey of living. My spiritual needs are met and i no longer want to indulge in things that have the appearance of instant gratification. i can remain teachable (which keeps me in harmony with life), i can remain humble (which helps me to understand others), and i can always ask for direction (which isolates the disease of addiction). ]]> Wolfchild http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/wolfchild/2168-responsibly-clean.html
