Just For Today


Action and prayer



"... growth is not the result of wishing but of action and prayer"


Basic Text, pp.35-36



Sometimes it seems as if our recovery is growing much too slowly. We
struggle with the steps; we wrestle with the same problems; we labor
under the same uncomfortable feelings day after day. We wish that recovery
would move a little faster so we could find some comfort!

Wishing doesn't work in recovery; this isn't a program of magic. If
wishes cured addiction, we all would have been well long ago! What does
give us relief in recovery is action and prayer.

Narcotics Anonymous has worked for so many addicts because it is a
carefully designed program of action and prayer. The actions we undertake
in each of the steps bring more and more recovery to each area of our
lives. And prayer keeps us connected to our Higher Power. Together,
action and prayer keep us well-grounded in recovery.


Just for today:
My recovery is too precious to just wish about it.
Today is a good day for action and prayer.
