Just For Today
Daily Meditations for Recovering Addicts
June 22
Accepting life as it is
"In our recovery, we find it essential to accept realty. Once we can do this, we do not
find it necessary to use drugs in an attempt to change our perceptions."
Basic Text, p.87
Drugs used to buffer us from the full force of life. When we stop using drugs and
enter recovery, we find ourselves confronted directly with life. We may experience
disappointment, frustration, or anger. Events may not happen the way we want
them to. The self-centeredness we cultivated in our addiction has distorted our
perceptions of life; it is difficult to let go of our expectations and accept life as it is.
We learn to accept our lives by working the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous.
We discover how to change our attitudes and let go of character defects. We no
longer need to distort the truth or to run from situations. The more we practice the
spiritual principles contained in the steps, the easier it becomes to accept life exactly
as it comes to us.
Just for today: I will practice self-acceptance by practicing the Twelve Steps.

Is NA for me?
This is a question every potential member must answer for themselves. It may help to read some of our informational pamphlets, starting with
"Am I an addict?"
https://m.na.org/?ID=ips-an-an-IP7 Addict?
and
"Welcome to NA".

If you’re an addict, NA can help. "Narcotics Anonymous offers recovery to addicts around the world. We focus on the disease of addiction rather than any particular drug. Our message is broad enough to attract addicts from any social class or nationality. When new members come to meetings, our sole interest is in their desire for freedom from active addiction and how we can be of help." (It Works: How and Why, “Third Tradition”)
