L is for Learn
Learn to listen, not just hear. Take what you hear to heart. Be open minded and non-judgemental. |
L is for Like. Learn to like yourself. If you haven't seen it, pick up a copy of NA's IP19 I believe on Self-Acceptance. It is an awesome read.

L is for Let. Let the program come to you and absorb it one day at a time. It isn't a quick fix program. We didn't get sick overnight, so we don't get better overnight or in a month or six weeks. Let your heart reach out to others. Let your Higher Power into your life. When you are troubled about things, let go and let your God take the burned from you. Walk in faith and let your God work in your life. Let Him/Her/It do His job. Don't try to do it or Him/Her/It.

L is for: Live, Laugh, Love
Live - Live in the now - live Today, not yesterday, and not tomorrow. Laugh - Let the little kid in you out - learn to laugh from the gut. Love - Love God, Love self, and Love our fellow man. |
L is for Live and Let Live. Live your life and allow others to live theirs. You are not responsible for their choices and you don't have the power to change them. All you can do is love them and pray for them.

L is for Less is more. When I am thinking more, I am acting out in my dis-ease. My drug of choice was more. So for me in today, I try to remember that don't take as much as you use to and think in smaller amounts. Like lower your expectations, so they are attainable. Take a smaller plate, if you want to lose weight. Lower your personal expectations of yourself, so you don't beat yourself up.

L is life on Life's terms. When we stay in the moment, we get the fullness out of our day.

L is for Learn to Listen, Listen to Learn. Sometimes our internal chatter can get in the way of us hearing the lesson we need to learn in today.

L is for Like. We may come from different places, but we are all heading in the same direction. I found myself liking people I wouldn't have drank with.

L is for Live
Live for TODAY not YESTERDAY not TOMORROW |
L is for Less. As we work the Steps and connect to our Higher Power, we find ourselves less obsessive about our drug of choice which we didn't think we could live without. It wasn't a case of less is more, it was about less means none. I can't use my drug of choice or substitute another substance, because I release my addiction all over again. It all leads to the same soul sickness.

L is for Light. Do a Step 4 and bring what you find in the darkness out to the Light, so you can see it better and let it go.

L is for Laughter. I will never forget the feeling of laughing and feeling it in my stomach. It was a real belly laugh. A laugh that was real and not a phony laugh in reaction to something I didn't real feel was funny, but wanted to people please.

L is for Lack. Is your program lacking? Does it meet your needs? What do you need to do that your not doing, like reading the literature.
