Wishes and dreams were some of the things that the disease of addiction robbed us from before they were fulfilled, or in some cases, even developed. Our Hopes became wishes, and our wishes became dreams. The disease of addiction even took those away from us, we were left with despair and uncertainties.

After arriving at Narcotics Anonymous we saw our Hopes and dreams in others, but we still failed to see it in our own Lives. As we work the Steps we seemed to Awaken and the fog was lifted. Our bodies and minds were no longer clouded with drugs.

When the obsession to use was removed in the Second Step, we began to feel Hope. We worked the Steps with God and our Sponsors.

Our Gray Book tells us that we, "carefully and simply pull ourselves out of the isolation of addiction into the mainstream of useful Fellowship.' We begin to see that anything is possible, even our lost dreams. Writing our Fourth Step we see where we went wrong, we see our obstacles, which in most cases was ourselves.

We begin to be released from our self-imposed prisons. As we write our Honest Assessment our lost dreams start to slowly reappear, our wishes and dreams become Hopes. Our Hopes become Realities as we work and Live the Spiritual Principles of those Steps. We Share these Hopes with others as they witness it manifest in our Lives.

In This Moment: We will stop wishing and start working, our lost dreams can become a Reality as we stay on this Journey of Recovery.
