Gradually, as we become more and more God-centered than self centered, our despair turns to hope.
Gray Book, p. 147 (Chapter Nine, Lines 4-5)
Living the Steps of Narcotics Anonymous is how we come in contact with Sanity. With each Step taken, our Relationship with the God of Our Own Understanding deepens. Our Higher Power becomes our safety net in our Lives.
As our Trust increases so does our Faith. God becomes an action figure in our Lives instead of this distant faraway icon. We become more and more God Conscious rather than self-conscious.
We become more God-centered and less self-centered. As our Spirits Awaken, as a result of those Steps; we become an asset to those around us. We are no longer making a mess out of our Lives and the Lives of others.
This is a gradual process. Our Seventh Step tells us that, "We change every day to gradually, carefully and simply pull ourselves out of isolation and loneliness of addiction into the mainstream of life. " It's an overtime progress not overnight. In our Recovery we get out what we put in.
We Share this Message of Hope with others in order to keep it. We learn to work with addicts who seek Recovery.
We light up the path for them as it was lit up for us. We Practice being God Conscious in everything we do. We continue on this Journey so that our Spiritual Awakening stays Progressing.
In This Moment: We will Share this Precious Gift of Hope with those that are in despair.
