Hey guys, I thought something cool I could do was start a thread for daily posts related to recovery.
There are a couple different options for things to do from various 12 step programs, but probably my favorite is the Narcotics Anonymous book "Just For Today". This book has a reading for each day, and is often used as an icebreaker or topic finder of sorts for NA meetings.
I know that 12 step can be a contentious topic for those in recovery, and if you dont like AA or NA, thats cool! This thread likely isnt for you then, and I would prefer to avoid this turning into a debate at any point.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on these readings, if you have any, please feel free to share. And then, by the end of the year, we should essentially have the full book, as long as I dont forget a day (I will)
I'm doing this to keep myself accountable and invested in my recovery, but also for the benefit of others. I am not completely sober and I will not pretend to be, but through posting these readings I hope some people will read along and open their mind to some of these principles. I know all the slogans. My favorite is "take what you need, and leave the rest". I apply this to most of my life, if something isnt for me, that's fine, but I can gather wisdom from anything I read.
(If I should forget a day over the next year, ping me, because I want to get all of these here on Bluelight)
