   "Quieting the mind through meditation brings an inner peace that brings
                   us into contact with the God within us."

   As our recovery progresses, we often reflect on what brought us to
   Narcotics Anonymous in the first place and are able to appreciate how much
   the quality of our lives has improved.  We no longer have to fear our own
   thoughts.  And the more we pray and meditate, the more we experience a
   calm sense of well-being.  The peace and tranquility we experience during
   our quiet times confirms that our most important needs-our spiritual
   needs-are being met.

   We are able to empathize with other addicts and strengthen our conscience
   in the process.   We learn to avoid judging others and experience the
   freedom to be ourselves.  In our spiritual reflection, we intuitively find
   "the God within us" and see that we are in harmony with a Power
   greater than ourselves.

   Just for today:   I  will reflect upon the gift of recovery and listen
   quietly for my Higher Power's guidance.
