![]() What is your normal routine for the day? Do you try to plan it out or do you go with the flow and allow your God to supply your needs and allow Him to direct you in the way He would have you go. So many times, I would make a list of do things for the day, only to beat myself up for not achieving my goals. My sponsor suggested I look at what I did do instead of what I didn't do, perhaps your God had other plans for you. Live in the moment, live in the now. ![]()

N is for New. We are about to begin a new year. Each day is a new beginning. If we live one day at a time, new things will be revealed to you.

N is for Nature. Look for the good, it can be found in all things. Be open to new ways and thoughts, let go of the old to make room for the new. Be optimistic, believe that they will come your way. You get back what you put out. Spend time in nature and allow it to speak to you. Take in the natural way of God's creation, not spoiled by man.

N is for No. As the country song said many years ago, "What part of 'No' don't you understand? So many times we say NO because we say what we think others want us to do. Some times we say NO when we really mean 'Yes' but fearful and we try to please. No is no, you don't have to explain it, your don't have to justify it. 'No' just means 'No' and we can stand firm in what we believe. Sometimes we don't think we have the right to say NO! Old tapes can be killers, they eat at the soul.

N is for Now. Living in the now is the freedom of recovery. Letting go of the pain of the past and the fear of the future allows me to heal and live in today. Now is the time to do, not just sitting on a chair at a meeting, but following the suggestions of the program. No need to project into the future, stay in today and know that your needs will be met just for today.

N is for Narrow. We can walk the narrow road or choose to walk on the broad path that allows others to walk with us. With the narrow one, there is just room for my God and me and any one who comes my way. I can give them a hug and allow them to pass by and live their own life.
Sometimes we feel we need to take detours, but when all is said and done, it bring us back to the now, and where we should be.

N is for Nitch. Find your nitch, that place your God has place you and where you feel comfortable. If you aren't happy there, look at what you need to make your space comfortable and noteworthy. We all have different abilities. We have our own gifts. We need to exercise them, share them with others, and know they are God given. Don't try to fit into something you are not.
Don't be a turkey, unless God made you one. ![]()

NUTS = Not Using The Steps
Next - Do the Next right thing. No - My sponsor told me one time that there was a little two letter word that I needed to learn how to say and that was No. She said it is ok to say No. I was always wanting to do everything for everybody which is why she told me this.
