Why Are WE HERE? Before coming to the Fellowship of N.A., we could not manage our own lives. We could not live and enjoy life as other people do. We had to have something different and we thought we had found it in drugs. We placed their use ahead of the welfare of our families, our wives, husbands, and our children. We had to have drugs at all costs. We did many people great harm, but most of all we harmed ourselves. Through our inability to accept personal responsibilities we were actually creating our own problem. We seemed to be incapable of facing life on its own terms.
Most of us realized that in our addiction we were slowly committing suicide, but addiction is such a cunning enemy of life that we had lost the power to do anything about it. Most of us ended up in jail, or sought help through medicine, religion and psychiatry. None of these methods was sufficient for us. Our disease always resurfaced or continued to progress until in desperation, we sought help from each other in Narcotics Anonymous.
After coming to N.A. we realized we were sick people. We suffered from a disease from which there is no known cure. It can, however, be arrested at some point, and recovery is then possible.

ACCEPTANCE.............
I was an addict yesterday, I am an addict today, and I'm positive I'll be an addict tomorrow.
No known cure...........but arresting the disease in recovery is possible!
(I love something else being ARRESTED besides me!!)
Thanks for the great post, Vic!

dose it seem like i'm still Incapiable of facing life still ?? lol
Incapiable is a very, very powerful word becuase that puts in the realm
of "I can't"
Kind of like an active addict is incapiable of love. and it's something
of a heartbreak for family members or a codi to accept
"seem" gives me hope.
here's another key phrase that hits home for me.lol
"until in DESPERATIONS, WE sought help FROM EACH OTHER in NA."

PLUG IN!!
I love it when i plug into a marshall stack. 200 watts of high power gain sends
chills down my spine becuase sometimes you just gatta feel the notes.
it also gives me more sustains. If you stand in an appropriate location
and hold it just right..it gives me narly feedbacks.lol
Plus being plug in like that..i don't have to stum as hard or choke
the crap out of the fret board. i can gracfully tap the notes without
picking it. The music just flows.lol

So many times in my life I always plugged in but really didn't plug into the core of recovery. I am really hoping that this time I have. I believe that finally Vic got honest with himself which than allowed me to be honest to the best of my abilities in a lot of my affairs.
Grateful for a program that keeps me plugged in.
