This is my Tradition 5/7, step 12
Pancake Marathon:
In moments when I am filled with this fear to say simply, this indifference in somebody else's ability; I get to realize that they are at their own level, what can I learn and not go against what would essentially be tradition 5 at the same time upholding what is tradition 1 so that I can go ahead and have the virtue of Step 12 with that of tradition 7. for I get that not everybody gets recovery shop talk and at the same time you know it simply comes down to how do I keep my peace of mind essentially not stealing anybody else's that's really what I see recovery is all about is keeping a piece of mind some call that a higher power get essentially we're all just trying to find Unity and have a place and within actions I'm making us a leader by our own matter of fact: of finding unity and seeing the value in others.

NA Just For Today: Embracing Reality
"Recovery is a reality for us today" Basic Text, p. 97
Pain and misery were realities in our using lives. We were unwilling either to accept our living situation or to change what was unacceptable in our lives. We attempted to escape life's pain by taking drugs, but using only compounded our troubles. Our altered sense of reality became a nightmare.
Through living the program of Narcotics Anonymous, we learn that our dreams can replace our nightmares. We grow and change. We acquire the freedom of choice. We are able to give and receive love. We can share honestly about ourselves, no longer magnifying or minimizing the truth. We accept the challenges real life offers us, facing them in a mature, responsible way.
Although recovery does not give us immunity from the realities of life, in the NA Fellowship we can find the support, genuine care, and concern we need to face those realities. We need never hide from reality by using drugs again, for our unity with other recovering addicts gives us strength. Today the support, the care, and the empathy of recovery give us a clean, clear window through which to view, experience, and appreciate reality as it is.
Just for today: A gift of my recovery is living and enjoying life as it truly is. Today, I will embrace reality.

Daily Reflections: ENTERING A NEW DIMENSION
In the late stages of our drinking, the will to resist has fled. Yet when we admit complete defeat and when we become entirely ready to try A.A. principles, our obsession leaves us and we enter a new dimension - freedom under God as we understand Him. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 283
I am fortunate to be among the ones who have had this awesome transformation in my life. When I entered the doors of A.A., alone and desperate, I had been beaten into willingness to believe anything I heard. One of the things I heard was,
"This could be your last hangover, or you can keep going round and round." The man who said this obviously was a whole lot better off than I. I liked the idea of admitting defeat and I have been free ever since! My heart heard what my mind never could: "Being powerless over alcohol is no big deal." I'm free and I'm grateful!
