Just for Today
The Ninth Step tells us to make direct amends wherever possible. Our experience tells us to follow up those direct amends with long-lasting changes in our attitudes and our behavior--that is, with indirect amends.
For example, say we've broken someone's window because we were angry. Looking soulfully into the eyes of the person whose window we've broken and apologizing would not be sufficient. We directly amend the wrong we've done by admitting it and replacing the window--we mend what we have damaged.
Then, we follow up our direct amends with indirect amends. If we've acted out on our anger, breaking someone's window, we examine the patterns of our behavior and our attitudes. After we repair the broken window, we seek to repair our broken attitudes as well--we try to "mend our ways." We modify our behavior, and make a daily effort not to act out on our anger.
We make direct amends by repairing the damage we do. We make indirect amends by repairing the attitudes that cause us to do damage in the first place, helping insure we won't cause further damage in the future.
If you have a drug problem, or just relapsed, our goal is to help you find recovery by connecting with other recovering addicts so that you can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live. This Website is designed to inform other individuals and organizations as well, so they can direct using addicts to find the help they need in Narcotics Anonymous. It is also a resource to those in service who are committed to helping the addict who still suffers by making recovery available and accessible to anyone with a desire to stay clean
The purpose of this website is to provide accurate and up-to-date information about Narcotics Anonymous in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. By making this information available on the internet, we hope to make ourselves more accessible to those with a focus on attraction rather than promotion. It is not our intention to promote the NA program, but it is our hope that those who are attracted to our way of life will be able to find us easily. Click here for site policies.
