Pancake Marathon: 

• Me being able to hold a new space of gratitude, finding that it is very true that I do not have the right to steal someone else's piece of mind and at the same point give away mine, it is the same thing;  it essentially living life and life's terms and giving it to God:  what a relief I don't have to be so serious and go above and beyond to control what is the outcome of a future event that has not happened yet it is a future I have no control over that other than my attitude and seeing that indifference of myself within that moment to then be guided to be Earnest and fearless to see my part and to truly only have the ability to control the outcome of my attitude and how I approach it with the power of cultivating an attitude of gratitude and not obsessing over anything other than being passionate and dedicated to staying an active part of my recovery and simply to say keeping the door open so that I may be able to see the change and when I need my changes the miracle that I am able to get to being because I keep on cultivating an attitude of gratitude not obsessing and just letting go and letting God.

from spadna.org Willingness Gets Us into Action Page 129

"Willingness without action is fantasy."

Living Clean, Chapter 6, "Commitment"

Those of us who weren't stoned out of our minds for middle school science may recall the law of inertia: "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force." In other words, things tend to keep doing what they're doing unless something intervenes. The same might be said for people.

When humans experience inertia, it can signal our resistance to change. Addicts sometimes take this to extremes--imagine that! When we get stuck in place or in constant motion, a powerful force may be needed to provoke change. That's why getting through the doors of our first meeting is so extraordinary. This first, often tentative action demonstrates a sublime willingness. Looking back on this first hint of surrender, many of us might sense the presence of an external force that propelled us into action. Individually and collectively, you might say that the force is strong with us.

Then and now, meetings can provide a potent antidote to inertia. They offer inspiration and help us imagine a future without drugs. Beyond fantasizing, we learn from each other's experience and try out practical new tools. We give ourselves a break and learn to let momentary or even obsessive thoughts of using come and go. By attending meetings regularly, we get frequent reminders about the kinds of actions we can take to sustain our cleantime or delve more intensely into recovery.

The NA program holds the potential to change the direction or speed of the addict who still suffers, but it takes some cooperation and effort on our part. As one member pointed out, "We say, 'It works if you work it,' not 'It works if you fantasize about it.'" We're not strangers to wishing things were different. In NA, we still hope and pray, but then we roll up our sleeves and get to work. As the age-old saying goes, "If nothing changes, nothing changes."

Whether I've let complacency grind my forward momentum to a halt or let constant motion block my awareness, I invite a loving force greater than myself to nudge me out of inertia.

Keep It Simple: I am the greatest.---Muhammad Ali 

1. We need to believe in ourselves. we're sober. We're honest. We're trustworthy. We're not making so many  problems for other people anymore We do our share. We can even help others sometimes. 

2. We're glad that others help us. We thank our Higher Power every day. But we also give ourselves credit.  We're working our program. We can handle life as best we can. And as long as we ask our Higher Power  to work through us, we are the greatest. 

3. Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, help me feel proud of the changes in my life. 

4. Action for the Day: Today, I'll talk with my sponsor about pride. What is good pride? What should I  watch out for? 

NA Just For Today: "What About The Newcomer?" 

1. "Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry the message to the addict who still suffers." Tradition Five 

2. Our home group means a lot to us. After all, where would we be without our favorite NA meeting? Our  group sometimes sponsors picnics or other activities. Often, home group members get together to see a  movie or go bowling. We have all made good friendships through our home group, and we wouldn't trade  that warmth for the world. 

3. But sometimes we must take inventory of what our group is doing to fulfill its primary purpose-to carry  the message to the still-suffering addict. Sometimes when we go to our meetings, we know almost  everyone and get caught up in the laughter and fun. But what about the newcomer? Have we remembered  to reach out to the new people who may be sitting by themselves, lonely and frightened? Do we  remember to welcome those visiting our group?

4. The love found in the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous helps us recover from addiction. But once we have  gotten clean, we must remember to give to others what was so freely given to us. We need to reach out to  the addict who still suffers. After all, "the newcomer is the most important person at any meeting." 

5. Just for today: I'm grateful for the warm fellowship I've found in my home group. I will reach out my  hand to the still-suffering addict, offering that same fellowship to others. 

Daily Reflections: "ENTIRELY HONEST" 

1. We must be entirely honest with somebody if we expect to live long or happily in this world. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 73-74 

2. Honesty, like all virtues, is to be shared. It began after I shared ". . . [my] whole life's story with someone . . . " in order to find my place in the Fellowship. Later I shared my  life in order to help the newcomer find his place with us. This sharing helps me to learn honesty in all my dealings and to know that God's plan for me comes true through honest openness and willingness.
