Grey Book Reflection
We have come to enjoy clean living and want more of the good things that the N.A. Fellowship holds for us.
Gray Book, p. 40 (Step Three, Lines 7-8)
The Promise of Freedom is one of the Gifts Narcotics Anonymous has to offer. Our Journey begins with the Total Abstinence of all drugs. Freedom from active addiction begins with our First Step.
We are finally Free from our self-imposed prisons. We became part of a Group of people, who like us, were Spiritually dead. Narcotics Anonymous brings the dead back to Life; we are given a Daily Reprieve from our death sentences.
Our Second Step Frees our minds from the obsession to use drugs, the restoration to Sanity starts here. Discovering that the Greater aspect of Recovery is learning to Live without the drugs, we're forced to seek a Power Greater Than Ourselves. In the First Step, we stop using, in the Second Step we lose the desire to use. In the Third Step we find a New Way To Live.
This resulted in Peace of Mind. We have come to know a new Freedom, and we want more.
Living through Spiritual Principles, we improve the quality of our Lives, and at the same time, the Lives of others. One Promise, many Gifts, we Share these Gifts in order to keep it. Seeking and Surrendering to a Power Greater Than Ourselves, is an act of Faith.
We keep our Hope alive with our Daily Surrender. We reinforce our Program by Sharing it with newcomers. As we Progress in the Steps, the Relationship with the God of Our Understanding becomes our Greatest Source of Strength.
The Program of Narcotics Anonymous offers unlimited Spiritual Growth. With each passing day and Spiritually Refreshed, we show our Gratitude, by Sharing our Recovery with others.
We will tap into this Unlimited Gold Mine, and Share this vast wealth with all that seek it.
