After arriving to Narcotics Anonymous, many of us witnessed addicts around us celebrating various amounts of Clean Time, most of them Living Happy, Joyous and Free. This Attraction of the Program at work moved us to also want this Precious Gift in our Lives. We soon found out that Recovery in N.A. was more than wishing, it was more than just Admitting our powerlessness. We soon learn that Hope without Action turns into despair.

One of the main Spiritual Principles of our Second Step is Open-mindedness. The pain of withdrawal forces us to seek a Power Greater Than Ourselves; this Power relieves our Obsession to use. Since a sick mind cannot cure itself, we meet this Power through our Actions.

Our Second Step says that it's the Process of Coming to Believe that Restores us to Sanity. It's the coming to meetings; it's the studying of our Literature; it's the getting and using a Sponsor and working with others through Service. The Practicing of the Spiritual Principles locked in the Steps.

This is what Restores us and what keeps our Spiritual Awakening Progressive. We don't think our way to Sanity, We Live our way to Sanity.

As we continue to Trust The God of Our Own Understanding, we begin to loosen our grip on the things we can't control, Everything. Letting go and Letting God is proof of our Surrender. Our Gray Book says; "Problems that had no solutions became transparent and unreal in the light of our new understanding. " In other words we lose the grip fear had on us.

We learn to Live In The Moment.

In This Moment: We begin to see that if we're not part of the Solution, we're part of the Problem.
