Working the Steps got us out of our old attitudes.

Gray Book, p. 79 (Chapter Five, Lines 7-8)

Đọc suy ngẫm

Our Literature reminds us that our disease is one of attitudes and behaviors. Although this is not what makes us addicts, it's one of the characteristics of the disease. Our personalities took a dark twist as we practiced our addiction day in and day out. The result was that our Perceptions were changed and that led to our Perspectives being changed, as a result our minds got sick.

We had to lose our heads to find our minds. We had to put ourselves in the position of "Surrender", to be found. The Second Step reminds us that it is the Process of Coming to Believe that Restores us to Sanity. This Restoration requires Action on our part.

A new Idea cannot be Grafted into a closed mind. This means that we have to Live our way to Good thinking. We can't think our way into Good Living.

The actions that the Steps required for Change is what we needed. Some of us had to fake it till we made it. We can only fake it for so long.

Developing a Good Attitude required Gratitude. To be Grateful that we're not in active addiction.

To be Grateful that we're still alive. To be Grateful that we have a Fellowship that can Help us in this Journey.

A Personality Change is what we needed. We have Narcotics Anonymous and a God Of Our Own Understanding as the necessary Tools for us to Change. We first need to Surrender to these Spiritual Principles of Narcotics Anonymous.

In This Moment: We will position ourselves where our Altitude and Longitude will be our Attitude and our Gratitude.
