Nar-Anon's Principles

NAR-ANON SLOGANS


LET GO AND LET GOD
- Every day there are decisions to be made and problems to be solved. When we notice
irritations growing into tensions, tensions into near-panic, and old fears returning, it is time to
stop and turn to God. We find that when we supply the willingness, He supplies the power.

FIRST THINGS FIRST
Much of our confusion and frustration is due to our failure to deal with tasks and
problems in the order of their importance. It does take discipline to put aside the
things(we) 'd rather do, and attend to those of first importance first. But the rewards are
great: we get things done, we enjoy a sense of accomplishment, and we learn to face
issues with a real sense of value and purpose.

LIVE AND LET LIVE
Our only concern should be our own conduct, our own improvement, our own lives.
We are entitled to our own view of things, and we have no right to inflict it on anyone
else.

EASY DOES IT
When we come into Nar-Anon, burdened with the problems and confusion, we are
confronted with a bright light of hope. This may tempt us to try too hard to learn, too
quickly, all there is to learn about the program. If we could only grasp the magic
formula that is doing so much for the others, we think. But alas, it is not magic, but a
philosophy of living, to be learned slowly and patiently, and absorbed into our hearts
and minds. When we approach each meeting, each problem, each step, in a relaxed
frame of mind, what we need will come to us much more quickly than if we are
strained and hurried. Readjusting our lives and changing old habits takes time, and
easy does it best.

BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD
When we are resentful and embittered over an addict's behavior, it is well to remind
ourselves that the addict did not choose to carry this burden of misery and despair. But
for the grace of God, we might have been afflicted by this sickness. Let us be thankful
that we have the blessing of sobriety, and be willing to help the addict find this
blessing, too.

LISTEN AND LEARN
There's something of value to learn from everyone you meet. Look for it and use it

ONE DAY AT A TIME
Today is the most important day of your life. Use it. Forget yesterday --- and don't worry
about what might happen tomorrow.

THINK
Hold back that rash word or thoughtless action. THINK about ways to improve you.
THINK before you make a decisions
