   April 15                                                  Keep coming back

     "We have come to enjoy living clean and want more of the good things
                    that the NA Fellowship holds for us."

                                                            Basic Text, p. 27

   Can you remember a time when you looked at the addicts recovering in NA
   and wondered, "If they aren't using drugs, what on earth do they have
   to laugh about?" Did you believe that the fun stopped when the using
   stopped?  So many of us did; we were certain that we were leaving the
   "good life" behind.  Today, many of us can laugh at that misconception
   because we know how full our life in recovery can be.

   Many of the things we enjoy so much in recovery are gained by actively
   participating in the Fellowship of NA.     We begin to find  true
   companionship, friends who understand and care about us just  for
   ourselves.  We find a place where we can be useful to others.  There are
   recovery meetings, service activities, and fellowship gatherings to fill
   our time and occupy our interests.   The fellowship can be a mirror to
   reflect back to us a more accurate image of who we are.  We find teachers,
   helpers, friends, love, care, and support.  The fellowship always has more
   to offer us, as long as we keep coming back.

                           ----=----

   Just for today:  I know where the "good life" is.  I'll keep coming
   back.
