Pancake Marathon:
As I see, almost all blank and how far I've come, and tell the moment I realize that I have come far; it's in this how far I've come to see that I was in pain. That now I have the able to keep what I have by giving it away, Coming to the point of what is a spiritual awakening, that one comes back to me I get to keep it with care this time; or yes this is a spiritual program and yet living life on life's terms helps me ground myself in the moments that I am so up in the air we can simply say; forgetting about things around me: such as the tree and how it's grounded yet it reaches to the sky. ultimately I know that it comes down to a sense of balance, I'm here for a reason and it's up to me to make that reason in a way to free me from being so serious and finding that there is a sense of Peace when I'm able to really give, with an expectation of I'm going to learn something from this and grow: yes I hope with Grace and humility; for life is just a game it's not supposed to be so serious and upon itself, a breath of fresh air is sometimes as simple as cure when I forget to smile.

NA Just For Today: Identification
"Someone finally knew the crazy thoughts that I had and the crazy things I'd done." Basic Text p. 175
Addicts often feel terminally unique. We're sure that no one used drugs like we did or had to do the things that we did to get them. Feeling that no one really understands us can keep us from recovery for many years.
But once we come to the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous, we begin to lose that feeling of being "the worst" or "the craziest." We listen as members share their experiences. We discover that others have walked the same twisted path that we've walked and still have been able to find recovery. We begin to believe that recovery is available to us, too.
As we progress in our own recovery, sometimes our thinking is still insane. However, we find that when we share the hard time we may be having, others identify, sharing how they have dealt with such difficulties. No matter how troubled our thinking seems, we find hope when others relate to us, passing along the solutions they've found. We begin to believe that we can survive whatever we're going through to continue on in our recovery.
The gift of Narcotics Anonymous is that we learn we are not alone. We can get dean and stay clean by sharing our experience, our strength, and even our crazy thinking with other members. When we do, we open ourselves to the solutions others have found to the challenges we face.
Just for today: I am grateful that I can identify with others. Today, I will listen as they share their experience, and I'll share mine with them.

Daily Reflections: TRUE BROTHERHOOD
We have not once sought to be one in a family, to be a friend among friends, to be a worker among workers, to be a useful member of society. Always we tried to struggle to the top of the heap, or to hide underneath it. This self-centered behavior blocked a partnership relation with any one of those about us. Of true brotherhood we had small comprehension. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 53
This message contained in Step Four was the first one I heard loud and clear; I hadn't seen myself in print before! Prior to my coming into A.A., I knew of no place that could teach me how to become a person among persons. From my very first meeting, I saw people doing just that and I wanted what they had. One of the reasons that I'm a happy, sober alcoholic today is that I'm learning this most important lesson.
