May 4th – Seeking
“Our Higher Power can and will if sought.”
– How It Works, Life with Hope, third edition, page 193
One of the most beautiful ideas in Marijuana Anonymous is that my Higher Power can and will relieve my addiction “if sought.” When I think about who I am in this spiritual journey, which is recovery, I think I am a searcher. This is a very good thing, since it is the search for my Higher Power that makes freedom from addiction possible. I came into MA looking for a way out of the hell of marijuana addiction. The people in this program showed me that there was a way, and if I keep searching for God, seeking the love and care of a Higher Power that is always there, I can live in freedom and serenity.
Final thought: Today, I will seek my Higher Power through working the Twelve Steps of Marijuana Anonymous.

Notes from a Newcomer
By, Terri R. I will always remember my first MA meeting. I was scared and nervous, but I remember all of that melting away as the meeting started. Soon I realized, “This is where I need to be.” I could relate to what I was hearing. Listening intently, I was amazed that there was a…
Terry’s Story
By, Terry M. Today I have many things to be grateful for. In the past three years, my life has changed a lot. To list all these changes would be impossible. There are so many things I take for granted today that I would not have known before the changes of these last few years.…
Daddy
By, Rich C. As a child, I called you Daddy.As I grew up, it became Dad.You didn’t often (or hardly ever) say, “I love you son.”Rather, you showed love.Often, we regret the things not said.Or, regret the hurtful things sometimes said.Before you died, you made amends.You said the things that needed to be said.You said,…
Clarity
By, Anonymous Anger was my god, and when I look back to my time in active addiction, believe me when I tell you, all I saw was red. Not the rose-coloured glasses that tell you the world is a utopia, or the glasses you see others through right before the hurt. I saw rage, I…
