Grey Book Reflection
The full fruit of a labor of love lives in the harvest, and that always comes in its right season
Gray Book, p. 1 (Forward)
We reap what we sow. In active addiction, we worked tirelessly to use and find the ways and means to continue using, and what we got was not so rewarding. The results were disastrous for us and others.
We were harvesting rotten fruits because it wasn't created by Love. In Narcotics Anonymous we learn that the beginning Process of Recovery takes a lot of work, a lot of digging, and a lot of turning over of old soil. We're planting new seeds, seeds of Love, Compassion and Patience.
A lot of hard work ahead of us, Amending the wreckage of our past. We start to see the fruits of our hard labor; we start to experience new feelings of self-worth. We start to show Empathy towards others, and we start to grow Spiritually.
We did the work; we did it with Love. We finally took Responsibility for our Lives, now we're reaping the rewards.
The right season is now upon us. We do the work and Share with others this Precious Gift. We show others how to SOW and reap the benefits when we do God's Will.
We will reap the Fruits of our labor of Love; we will give time, time. The full harvest comes in the right season.
