June 18 Indirect amends Indirect amends may be necessary where direct ones would be unsafe or endanger other people. Basic Text, p. 41 = When we used, we allowed nothing to stand in the way of that next high. As a result, many of us didnt always know precisely whom we had injured, either financially or emotionally. When it came time to make amends through our Ninth Step, we found that there were so many people we had victimized that we might never remember them all. With the help of our sponsor and other recovering members of NA, we found a solution to this obstacle. We vowed to complete these nameless amends by making restitution to our communities. We focused our service efforts on helping the still-suffering addict. In this manner, we found a way to give back to society. Today, with the love and guidance of members in NA, we are giving back to the world around us rather than taking. We are making our communities better places to live by carrying the message of recovery to those we encounter in our daily lives. = Just for today: I will make indirect amends by reaching out to an addict who may need help. I will strive in some small way to make my community a better place in which to live.

It's important to remember that recovery is not a competition because everyone's journey is unique and personal. Comparing our progress to someone else's can create unnecessary pressure and hinder our progress. Instead, we should focus on our path, celebrate every small victory, and keep moving forward at our own pace. So, if you don't take anything else away from today, remember there should be no competition and stay motivated and positive throughout the recovery process.

Rebuilding trust is a journey, not a sprint. For those on the path to recovery, it's vital to remember that the family has endured pain, and the once-strong bond may have fractured. Taking it step by step is the key to rebuilding that connection. Acknowledge the hurt, embrace the process, and gradually mend the pieces. Patience becomes the glue that binds the family back together. 🕊️ #lakeviewhealth #familyaddictionrecovery #recoveryjourney #familyhealing #onestepatatime

After putting some clean time together, some of us have a tendency to forget what our most important priority is. Once a week or less we say, "I've gotta get to a meeting tonight. It's been.. " We've been caught up in other things, important for sure, but no more so than our continued participation in Narcotics Anonymous. It happens gradually. We get jobs. We reunite with our families. We're raising children, the dog is sick, or we're going to school at night. The house needs to be cleaned. The lawn needs to be mowed. We have to work late. We're tired. There's a good show at the theater tonight. And all of a sudden, we notice that we haven't called our sponsor, been to a meeting, spoken to a newcomer, or even talked to God in quite a while. What do we do at this point? Well, we either renew our commitment to our recovery, or we continue being too busy to recover until something happens and our lives become unmanageable. Quite a choice! Our best bet is to put more of our energy into maintaining the foundation of recovery on which our lives are built. That foundation makes everything else possible, and it will surely crumble if we get too busy with everything else. Just for today: I can't afford to be too busy to recover. I will do something today that sustains my recovery. We are here to help.

Unfortunately, our "Coats for Survivors" campaign is not receiving the financial support we had hoped for. Nonetheless, we are truly grateful for the overwhelming love and effort being put into spreading the word, as many survivors are recognizing these efforts. Thank you for your dedication. We currently have enough for 18 survivors. This will mean a lot to those we deeply value, love, and care about. While public awareness of human trafficking is in place, many survivors still require vital support and needs such as this. It’s disheartening to see that dog shelters often receive more assistance than initiatives focused on helping people. Many organizations are stretched thin, facing waitlists, closing their doors, and grappling with significant challenges, including burnout. Although this may not be widely discussed, the average tenure for someone working or serving in this field is just 5-7 years, which closely mirrors the average lifespan of a survivor. This correlation underscores a troubling reality: stress levels are extremely high, while support remains alarmingly low. This is especially true for the small transparent organizations that do not exploit their situations for gain and are genuinely trying to do the right thing.
