Happy Friday the 13th!! 2007. TX got a huge snow storm check this out!!

Keep It Simple group of NA meetings are: Sun, Wed 730pm, Fri 7pm after fri's we go out to eat! Last sun is birthday night Located on Cedar st. aka hwy 207North at Valley Drive in Borger, TX. Special speaker some Fri's. @7pm then dinner at local places!

KEEP IT SIMPLE
We are presented with a dilemma when NA members identify themselves as “addicts & alcoholics” or talk about “living clean & sober”. The clarity of the NA message is blurred. To speak in this manner suggests that there are two diseases, that one drug is somehow separate from the rest requiring special recognition. NA makes NO distinction between drugs. Our identification as ADDICTS is all inclusive allowing us to concentrate on our similarities not our differences.

If you want that for your group announcement, it was given out to new groups years ago. I will be happy to send you a copy if you can't find it on na.org site

Our NA group banner Keep It Simple group of the Panhandle Area, Best Little Region, Plains States Zonal of Narcotics Anonymous. Click our banner to go to the NA Website for info and meetings all over the world!

Things I do to not use: Work the steps with my sponsor and those I sponsor. Serve as much as I can. Be the best I can be. Live in the NOW. Don't use no matter what. Call someone. Play! I prefer cards. Eat healthy. Get enough rest. Read something positive. Meditate on the first positive thing that hits my mind. Most importantly, keep a constant contact with my Higher Power. Go to meetings when I can and share the truth.

STEP TWO

READ STEP TWO IN THE BASIC TEXT FOR 30 DAYS IN A ROW. IF YOU MISS A DAY START OVER. AFTER YOU HAVE READ FOR 30 DAYS IN A ROW, MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR HIGHER POWER TO BE LIKE.  FOR EXAMPLE: MY GOD IS GREATER THAN ME, MY GOD IS LOVING, MY GOD IS CARING, MY GOD IS FORGIVING, MY GOD IS TOLERANT, MY GOD IS PATIENT, MY GOD IS UNDERSTANDING. ETC.

IN DEVELOPING YOUR LIST/ CONCEPT OF YOUR HIGHER POWER, BE SURE TO BEGIN EACH ONE WITH “MY GOD IS”. IT’S EASIER TO REMEMBER ONE LINERS. MAKE SURE YOU ARE REALISTIC ABOUT YOUR CONCEPT AND REMEMBER THAT THIS HIGHER POWER IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED WHEN YOU ARE SOMEWHERE ON YOUR JOURNEY AND THERE ARE NO MEETINGS TO GET TO, NO OTHER ADDICT TO TALK TO, AND IT’S JUST YOU AND YOUR HIGHER POWER. AFTER MAKING YOUR LIST BECOME AWARE OF HOW YOUR HIGHER POWER IS PRESENT IN YOUR LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS. FOR EXAMPLE: MY GOD MAKES THE SUN COME UP AND SET. MY GOD ALLOWS ME TO SEE, BREATH, WALK, TALK AND STAY CLEAN. MY GOD ALLOWS ME TO MOVE ABOUT FREELY. MY GOD BRINGS HOPE TO ME THROUGH OTHERS. MY GOD ALLOWS ME TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF. ETC.  WRITE ABOUT THESE EXPERIENCES FOR 30 DAYS IN A ROW. IF YOU MISS A DAY, START OVER. AFTER WRITING FOR 30 DAYS IN A ROW GO OVER THESE EXPERIENCES WITH YOUR SPONSOR.
