Just for Today

November 04, 2025
Exchanging love
Page 322
"...we give love because it was given so freely to us. New frontiers are open to us as we learn how to love. Love can be the flow of life energy from one person to another."
Basic Text, p. 105

Love given, and love received, is the essence of life itself. It is the universal common denominator, connecting us to those around us. Addiction deprived us of that connection, locking us within ourselves.

The love we find in the NA program reopens the world to us. It unlocks the cage of addiction which once imprisoned us. By receiving love from other NA members, we find out--perhaps for the first time--what love is and what it can do. We hear fellow members talk about the sharing of love, and we sense the substance it lends to their lives.

We begin to suspect that, if giving and receiving love means so much to others, maybe it can give meaning to our lives, too. We sense that we are on the verge of a great discovery, yet we also sense that we won't fully understand the meaning of love unless we give ours away. We try it, and discover the missing connection between ourselves and the world.

Today, we realize that what they said was true: "We keep what we have only by giving it away."

Just for Today: Life is a new frontier for me, and the vehicle I will use to explore it is love. I will give freely the love I have received.

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.
