From Pancake Marathon:

It's in this life, that we have what we give and in that we must give what life we are wanting to have; only by that we see that we are willing to life a life that is willing to give us everything: for we see that we are life and that life is us, it is a Spiritual program.

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude is the priority that is to help us find what is worded within tradition 1: unity, for that is what we are wanting as well as a peace of mind; by us seeing that we have to look into our wisdom by pushing to be abe to think if we at this moment need to Mind your “P’s and Q’s.”: its in this life we can simply say, that we are able to see that it is just for the moment that we have: it is in those moments that we see that we need to know about life being the thing that we need and the things that needs us to be part of it: yes as a spiritual level of things; it is at this level that we see that we are able to kiss and see that the higher power of is what keeps us in fear…..overall, it is how we look at it that really is what keeps us and holds us to the moments of Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.

"The good times can also be a trap; the danger is that we may forget that our first priority is to stay clean." Basic Text, p. 42
Things can get really good in our recovery. Perhaps we've found our "soul mate" built a rewarding career, started a family. Maybe our relationships with our family members have healed. Things are going so well, we barely have time to attend meetings. Perhaps we begin to reintegrate into society so successfully that we forget that we don't always react to situations like others do.
Maybe, just maybe, we've put some priorities ahead of themselves. Is meeting attendance still a priority with us? Do we still sponsor? Do we phone our sponsor? What step are we working? Are we still willing to drag ourselves out of bed at some ungodly hour for a Twelfth Step call? Do we remember to practice
principles in all our affairs? If others in NA reach out to us, are we available? Do we remember where we came from, or have the "good times" allowed us to forget?
To stay clean, we must remember that we are only one drug away from our past. We stay grateful for the good times, but we don't let them divert us from our continuing recovery in Narcotics Anonymous.
Just for today: I'm grateful for the good times, but I've not forgotten from where I've come. Today, my first priority is staying clean and growing in my recovery.

Once we have placed the key of willingness in the lock and have the door ever so slightly open, we find that we can always open it some more. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 35
The willingness to give up my pride and self-will to a Power greater than myself has proved to be the only ingredient absolutely necessary to solve all of my problems today. Even the smallest amount of willingness, if sincere, is sufficient to allow God to enter and take control over my problem, pain, or obsession. My level of comfort is in direct relation to the degree of willingness I possess at any given moment to give up my self-will, and allow God's will to be manifested in my life. With the key of willingness, my worries and fears are powerfully transformed into serenity.
