Diversity: IT WORKS
The reality of surrender to this NA program is ever
increasingly revealed as I continue along this
journey of recovery just for today one day at a
time.
Through working the steps, attending meetings
regularly, sharing with other recovering addicts and
doing service work is helping me to surrender to
group consciousness for the common welfare of
NA rather than cater to self will. I must always
remember that my personal recovery depends on
NA unity.
When you said you were not interested in what or
how much I used or whom my connections were,
what I had done in the past, how much or how little
I had and that any one could join NA regardless of
age, race, sexual identity, creed, religion or lack of
such, it gave me the impression that I was
accepted no matter what and this was a safe place
to learn a new way to live.
We come from diverse backgrounds and
persuasions and through the principles and
traditions of NA. We are together learning how to
be acceptable, responsible productive members of
society, living a new way in unity because of a
common problem and a common solution.
We are being given the ability to "Carry the
Message" to an addicted world that any addict
seeking recovery of life can loose the desire to use
and find a new way to live and experience a higher
point of freedom.
The proof of NA is the way we care, share, and
love one another No matter what, No matter who,
No matter when or where. Diversity in NA is
strength to live happy joyous and Free.
Much Gratitude
