Freedom... when I care and when I share... the NA way.

Did is a word of achievement,
Won't is a word of retreat,
Might is a word of bereavement,
Can't is a word of defeat,
Ought is a word of duty,
Try is a word each hour,
Will is a word of beauty,
Can is a word of power.

My Medallion

I always carry my medallion,
A simple reminder to me
Of the fact that I'm in recovery
No matter where I may be.

This little chip is not magic
Nor is it a good luck charm.
It isn't supposed to protect me
From every possible harm.

It's not meant for comparison,
Or for all the world to see,
It's simply an understanding
Between my Higher Power and me.

Whenever I doubt the cost
I paid for recovery,
I look at my medallion
To remember what used to be.

It reminds me to be thankful
For my blessings day by day,
And to practice the principles
In all I do and say.

It's also a daily reminder
Of the peace and comfort I share
With all who work the Program
And show they really care.

So I carry my medallion
To remind no one but me
That the Promises will unfold
If I let God work for me.
