UNDERSTANDING

Thanks for contributing to this book project!

NA literature is written by members, for members. The advance material we gather from across the Fellowship will be woven together to represent our collective experience on living by spiritual principles. Submissions are welcome in any language.

We appreciate your input in whatever format suits you. Your ideas and experience are what's important at this stage. No need to get hung up on grammar or spelling. Bullet points may be just as useful as paragraphs. Thanks so much for offering your thoughts!

Question Title

* 1. QUOTATION: Select a passage from our literature to use as your writing prompt. You can choose from those listed on the drop-down menu or enter one you've found helpful.

We begin to understand that other people have real feelings and that we are capable of hurting them if we are careless (It Works, Step Nine).

As with so much else that happens in NA, the free exchange of experience and ideas in an atmosphere of support and mutual respect leads to growth and understanding (Guiding Principles, Introduction).

Sometimes we come face-to-face with life’s most difficult circumstances. Our relationships with our sponsor and sponsees can offer the support and understanding we need to keep moving forward (Sponsorship, Chapter 4, “The Sponsorship Relationship”).

Our fellowship matures and develops as each of us brings our increasing understanding to the table; we grow from one another’s experience when we are willing to share and to listen with an open mind (Living Clean, Chapter 3, “A Spiritual, Not Religious Program”).
