November 8

If anyone of us has a problem with the word insanity, all we have to do is think back in all the times we used drugs against our will. We just have to think back at all the things we did to continue using drugs. All the dangers we put ourselves and loved ones in, just to get that one more. Looking back there's no denying that we were slowly committing suicide and in some extreme cases, homicide.

Day after day even after knowing the results of our using, we still continue to pick up once again and started the deadly cycle all over again. Few can actually argue that we were acting insane. There's another death we suffered that was worse than a physical death, it was the death of our Spirit. We hurt ourselves and others.

Whatever the case we were committing a slow suicide. By the time we approached Step Two, most of us hadn't had a problem with the word insanity.

Some of us still had the obsession to use, some went back to using. This is insanity at its best. Recovery in Narcotics Anonymous grants us a Daily Reprieve from this insanity.
