Get Involved

Service is not a four letter word! Service work in NA often gets a bad rap; principles before personalities is put to the test. But service really is a seven letter word that affords us the opportunity to pay back what was so freely given to us. We freely give away what we have in order to keep it. Want to get involved but don’t know where to begin? Start by letting your desires be known and let your gratitude speak when you care and when you share with others, the NA way!

Just For Today

September 08, 2024
Rebellion
Page 262
"We need not lose faith when we become rebellious."
Basic Text, p. 35

Many of us have lived our entire lives in revolt. Our initial response to any type of direction is often negative. Automatic rejection of authority seems to be a troubling character defect for many addicts.

A thorough self-examination can show us how we react to the world around us. We can ask ourselves if our rebellion against people, places, and institutions is justified. If we keep writing long enough, we can usually get past what others did and uncover our own part in our affairs. We find that what others did to us was not as important as how we responded to the situations we found ourselves in.

Regular inventory allows us to examine the patterns in our reactions to life and see if we are prone to chronic rebelliousness. Sometimes we will find that, while we may usually go along with what is suggested to us rather than risk rejection, we secretly harbor resentments against authority. If left to themselves, these resentments can lead us away from our program of recovery.

The inventory process allows us to uncover, evaluate, and alter our rebellious patterns. We can't change the world by taking an inventory, but we can change the way we react to it.

Just for Today: I want freedom from the turmoil of rebelliousness. Before I act, I will inventory myself and think about my true values.
