Grey Book Reflection
This awakening does have some things in common throughout the Fellowship. Life takes on a new meaning, a new joy, and a quality of being and feeling worthwhile.
Gray Book, p. 59 (Step Twelve, Lines 3-5)
Narcotics Anonymous is a "WE" Program, but our Spiritual Paths are as different, as there are Members. Starting with our Surrender, we suffer at different levels of sicknesses. We Recover at different levels as well.
Our Higher Powers are different from one another, the God we choose is of Our Own Understanding. Narcotics Anonymous has no set Spiritual Path, individually we Pray and Meditate differently from one another. However, the way we do it, is the same; we use the Spiritual Principles of the Steps and Traditions on our Journey. We Share this set of Principles that make our Spiritual Paths and Recovery possible.
We Help one another, we Share our Experiences, Strengths and our Hopes with each other. As we Awaken, we Awaken others, we show them what worked for us. With our Experience, we shine the light on the road we first took, when we got here.
Others showed us the way, now we Share that way with others. Our Sponsors should be leading us to God.
We walk with each other, side by side, without parallels. We Share our Awakening with each other, we Share our Experiences with each other.
We Share our Freedom from active addiction and the end of isolation. Living Happy, Joyous and Free is no longer a theory, we see the evidence of Clean addicts, Spiritually refreshed and enjoying a New Way of Life. Our Spiritual Awakening has to continue to Progress; Sharing with others, makes it possible.
We continue to Share our Recovery and the Message of Narcotics Anonymous with all who seek it.
