October 21 God's will today
"This decision demands continued acceptance, ever -increasing faith, and a daily
commitment to recovery."
IP No.14, "One Addict's Experience"
Sometimes, we really live the Third Step-and it's great! We don't regret the
past, we aren't afraid of the future, and we're generally pleased with the
present. Sometimes, though, we lose our vision of God's will in our life.
Many of us dream of erasing the mistakes of our past, but the past cannot be
erased. Many of us are grateful this is so, for our past experiences have
brought us to the recovery we enjoy today. By working the program, we can learn
to accept the past and reconcile ourselves with it by amending our wrongs. Those
same Twelve Steps can help eliminate our worries over the future. When we
practice NA principles on a daily basis in all our affairs, we can leave the
results up to our Higher Power.
It seems as though our members with the strongest faith are the ones who are
best able to live in the present moment. Enjoyment, appreciation, and gratitude
for the quality of our lives-these are the results of faith in life itself. When
we practice the principles of our program, today is the only day we need.
Just for today: I will make the most of today, and trust that yesterday and
tomorrow are in God's care.
