Just as a battery can’t recharge itself, chances are we can’t put the spark back into our own recovery without some outside power. Participation in the life of our fellowship keeps NA alive—but it also keeps the spirit of recovery alive within us. “I didn’t know how much faith I had until I lost it,” a member shared. “Recovery started to seem meaningless. Dry and cynical, I couldn’t check the negativity by myself. I had to seek out opportunities to witness the miracle happening.” Connecting with those who have enthusiasm and hope is a beginning. Thinking about recovery never helps as much as getting out and taking action, especially when we don’t want to. When what we’re doing isn’t working, we stop. But when what we’re doing is halfway working, we tend to keep going even if it’s uncomfortable, because we’re used to it. Sometimes it seems like the longer we are clean, the less we are willing. Just like in the beginning, we may have to fight our impulses and make ourselves do what we know is right. Living Clean pg. 231-232
