“Anything that speaks of separation is not of God.”

“It is easy to slip back into our old ways. To ensure our continued growth and recovery, we have to learn to maintain our lives on a spiritually sound basis. God will not force His goodness on us, but we will receive it if we ask.” -NA Basic Text Step 11 Ask, Seek, Knock. 🙏🏼

“We need to remember that everyone makes mistakes. We will never be perfect. However, we can accept ourselves by using Step Ten. By continuing a personal inventory, we are set free, in the here and now, from ourselves and the past.” -NA Basic Text Step 10 #Sobriety #Recovery 💪
