Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity
6. Suggestions
Leave our meeting place better than we find it. - This basic has helped us enjoy a great range of meeting places. It speaks well of our validity as a recovery program and makes us experience the positive feelings of being responsible at the same time.
Pray in a.m. for Help - When we get up in the morning we ask our Higher Power to help us stay clean, maintain conscious contact, guide us and give is the strength to deal with what comes up.
Pray in p.m. and give Thanks - Before I go to bed at night, I thank my Higher Power for another day clean, for the loving and caring people in my life, for carrying me through the day, and all the gifts that were given.
Help another addict - Making and keeping commitments reflects growth of our character. We learn to become responsible starting out with small commitments and build up. We congratulate when we do it right.
Home group involvement: What it is and why it is - Showing up early and staying late to clean up, participating in group, and letting people get to know you better. Keeping your home group informed is like recovery insurance.
Group conscience meeting -- not business meetings -- attendance a must -- We define and maintain an atmosphere of recovery by discussing concerns that might affect our group. We want to be stable and attractive.
Listen and take direction - follow it, to Pray for the willingness. Listen and take direction from sponsor and/or members who know you well.
Share in a meeting - at least the first 3 to share is to establish and maintain our connection to the program.
Get with the old-timers and the newcomers - Newcomers will sometimes amaze you and give you the solutions.
Give out and get phone numbers - Men for men’s phone numbers on meeting list, and women for women. Get with a person not of your sexual preference.
Get to the meeting early - Helps make you feel a part of with other members in a way that is impossible to foresee and provides identification with N.A. Lets other members know you’re serious about N.A. You also have the opportunity to set up the meeting and learn about group service.
Go out after the meeting for coffee, food, visit another members’ house along with other addicts - get to know other addicts and allows them to get to know you. Cheaper than treatment!
Fellowship with all - Thank God there is still a thing called the coffee pot. Teaches us to have fun without, the use of drugs. Dances, spiritual retreats, conventions, picnics, all give us new memories and help us develop positive associations.
Respectfully Submitted,
