12 Step Soul Food for the Spirit

By the Grace of God and through the love of the people that he put in my life in Narcotics Anonymous, I have been clean since October 27, 1988. I am one who sticks to the basics of the program, My life today is SO AWESOME , it's Beyond my wildest dreams, so that is why I make meetings regularly, call my sponsor, try to apply the spiritual principles in my life and make myself available to the newcomers, who are the heartbeat of our fellowship.

I am not saying that getting clean and staying clean has been easy, this is a simple program, don't confuse simple with easy, I have lost my best friend to AIDS I have buried 25 other friends to active addiction, AIDS, hepititus and suicide, my father died, relationships have ended.
But its about not using "NO MATTER WHAT". I have so much gratitude for all of the gifts, blessings and miracles that God has given me. This is truly a "Journey without a Destination."
Gratitude is an appreciation with a sense of obligation, I HAVE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD, so I have a responsibility and commitment to give back what was so freely and gratefully given to me.
My gratitude speaks, when I care and when I share with others the N.A. Way. When I say that I'm an addict named Scott, I am letting you know that I am a loser, who kept on trying and the people in N.A. believed in me and wanted to help me in my recovery. Thank you N.A. without you there would be no me.
