Just For Today

Romance and recovery
Page 356
"Relationships can be a terribly painful area."
Basic Text, p. 82
Love is like an elixir for some of us. The excitement of a new lover, the intrigue of exploring intimacy, the sense of release we get from allowing ourselves to become vulnerable-these are all powerful emotions. But we can't forget that we have only a daily reprieve from our addiction. Holding onto this daily reprieve must be the top priority in any recovering addict's life.

We can become too involved in our relationship. We can neglect old friends and our sponsor in the process. Then, when things get difficult, we often feel that we can no longer reach out to those who helped us prior to our romantic involvement. This belief can lay the groundwork for a relapse. By consistently working our program and attending meetings, we ensure that we have a network of recovery, even when we're deep in a romance.

Our desire to be romantically involved is natural. But we mustn't forget that, without our program, even the healthiest relationship will not guard us against the strength of our addiction.

Just for Today: In my desire for romance, I will not ignore my recovery.

Steps, Traditions & Concepts

Twelfth Step
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts and to practice these principles in all of our affairs.

Twelfth Tradition
Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

Twelfth Concept
In keeping with the spiritual nature of Narcotics Anonymous, our structure should always be one of service, never of government.
