The program is simply sharing, working the Twelve Steps, attending meetings, and practicing the principles of the program.
In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelmingly complex, it’s easy to get bogged down in the details. But what if we told you there’s a way to simplify your life? By focusing on three simple things – sharing our experience, strength, and hope with others; regular meeting attendance; and practicing the principles of the program – we can make our lives a lot less complicated.
When we share our story with others, we provide a powerful example for newcomers to follow. And as we do so, we also help keep self-centeredness at bay. By putting effort into helping others, we create a sense of purpose and belonging that’s essential to our recovery.
Attending meetings regularly can bring structure and routine to our lives. It gives us a sense of belonging and lets others know where they can find us if they need support. Whether it’s one group or several, finding a “home group” can be a game-changer for our recovery.
Living by the principles of the program makes all the difference between a balanced recovery and simply not using. The Twelve Steps provide us with much-needed guidance in managing our everyday affairs. By incorporating these steps into our daily lives, we can find serenity and hope even in the midst of chaos.
Remember: while life may be complex, NA is the simplest way for me to make my life less complicated. Just for today, I will focus on sharing, attending meetings, and practicing the principles of the program.
