Pancake Marathon:

I hold my breath for none other than this hope that I now have because somehow I'm able to be empathetic and compassionate towards others, I know that I'm not a saint within the regards of me being perfect in being able to talk right or act in a way that will make everyone happy; yet I do know that if I do my best and I see the room for improvement I will be able to reach that state of perfection: what is known as Saint Hood we can simply say. and still it comes to the simple matter of fact of how do I keep my peace of mind how do I love and how do I keep on being something that is able to be the change that I want to see in the world, I know that each moment is itself just a moment; simply to say just making progress is how I know I can reach that level of perfection, a degree of unity is what comes to mind every single moment: and I think that is ultimately why a breath has the power to change life: to destroy it or to activate it in a way that will give a peace of mind to myself because I know I didn't isolate and a communicated, within the level of seeing how important it is at that moment to address it, by doing the best I can.

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn.---David Russell
Making big decisions is like crossing bridges. Sometimes, these decisions change our lives. We find that turning back will be very hard. This is why we have to be very careful when we decide to burn bridges. When we decide to make changes, we act carefully. We don't want to make decisions out of anger or envy. Instead, we can think about what we want and how our program can help us make wise decisions.

What I get from this: What i get from this, is step 12: to try to carry the message and to practice the principles in all our affairs

Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, help me cross those bridges that are on my path. Action for the Day: What do I really want in life? What decisions do I need to make to get there?

"Through abstinence and through working the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous, our lives have become useful." Basic Text, p. 8
Before coming to Narcotics Anonymous, our lives were centered around using. For the most part, we had very little energy left over for jobs, relationships, or other activities. We served only our addiction.
The Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous provide a simple way to turn our lives around. We start by staying clean, a day at a time. When our energy is no longer channeled into our addiction, we find that we have the energy to pursue other interests. As we grow in recovery, we become able to sustain healthy relationships. We become trustworthy employees. Hobbies and recreation seem more inviting. Through participation in Narcotics Anonymous, we help others.
Narcotics Anonymous does not promise us that we will find good jobs, loving relationships, or a fulfilling life. But when we work the Twelve Steps to the best of our ability, we find that we can become the type
of people who are capable of finding employment, sustaining loving relationships, and helping others. We stop serving our disease, and begin serving God and others. The Twelve Steps are the key to transforming our lives.
Just for today: I will have the wisdom to use the Twelve Steps in my life, and the courage to grow in my recovery I will practice my program to become a responsible, productive member of society.

Alcoholism was a lonely business, even though we were surrounded by people who loved us... We were trying to find emotional security either by dominating or by being dependent upon others . . . We still vainly tried to be secure by some unhealthy sort of domination or dependence. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 252
When I did my personal inventory I found that I had unhealthy relationships with most people in my life my friends and family, for example. I always felt isolated and lonely. I drank to dull emotional pain.
It was through staying sober, having a good sponsor and working the Twelve Steps that I was able to build up my low self-esteem. First the Twelve Steps taught me to become my own best friend, and then, when I was able to love myself, I could reach out and love others.
