Grey Book Reflection

July 1

In our addiction, we feared change because we had lost control of our lives and most changes were for the worst.

Gray Book, p. 84 (Chapter Five, Lines 5-7)

Read reflection

Change is inevitable, too bad as using addicts this wasn't a good thing. The disease of addiction is progressive.

At any given point we were getting worst. That was the extent of our change.

The disease of addiction affected every area of our lives. Our using took priority over anything we considered important to us. At the end we tried everything and anything to find a solution to our problem, "ourselves." Everything we tried failed, many of us tried switching drugs, some of us tried religion and psychiatry, none of these methods worked for us. Arriving at Narcotics Anonymous seem like a miracle for most of us. It was the last stop for most of us.

Afflicted by addiction some of us still weren't sure that Narcotics Anonymous would work for us. We came into contact with other addicts like us, but now were Happy, Joyous and Free. Their change was for the best.

They Shared the Message of Narcotics Anonymous and how it worked for them. We found Hope as we ourselves stood Clean.

Some of the changes in our Lives were of a positve nature. We no longer had to be slaves to our addiction.

We found a Higher Power that Guides us in this Journey. Practicing the Spiritual Principles of Narcotics Anonymous gave us a Life we thought we could ever imagine. Today we look forward to change, because now it's mostly for the best.

In This Moment
✦   ✦   ✦

We Appreciate our new Lives that consist of a God of our own Understanding, and the Fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous.
