Just For Today
Spiritual Principle a Day
Just For Today

January 18, 2026
The simple inventory
Page 18
“Continuing to take a personal inventory means that we form a habit of looking at ourselves, our actions, our attitudes, and our relationships on a regular basis.”
Basic Text, p. 42

The daily inventory is a tool we can use to simplify our lives. The most complicated part of taking a regular inventory is deciding how to start. Should we write it out? What should we examine? In how much detail? And how do we know when we’ve finished? In no time, we’ve turned a simple exercise into a major project. Here’s one simple approach to the daily inventory. We set aside a few minutes at the close of each day to sit quietly and check out our feelings. Is there a knot, big or small, in our gut? Do we feel uncomfortable about the day we’ve just finished? What happened? What was our part in the affair? Do we owe any amends? If we could do it over again, what would we do differently?

We also want to monitor the positive aspects of our lives in our daily inventory. What has given us satisfaction today? Were we productive? Responsible? Kind? Loving? Did we give unselfishly of ourselves? Did we fully experience the love and beauty the day offered us? What did we do today that we would want to do again?

Our daily inventory doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. It is a very simple tool we can use to keep in daily touch with ourselves.

Just for Today: I want to keep in touch with the way I feel in living this life I’ve been given. At the end of this day, I will take a brief, simple inventory.

Spiritual Principle a Day

January 18, 2026
Surrendering to Change
Page 18
“Surrender means having the open-mindedness to see things in a new way, as well as the willingness to live differently.”
Living Clean, Chapter 3, “Awakening to Our Spirituality”

Change has a terrible reputation. It’s scary and might make our lives less predictable. Many of us arrive in NA knowing for sure that we want to change the outside aspects of ourselves: improve our health and our finances, further our education, get a career. Common wisdom has it that “Change is an inside job,” and that makes sense to us, too. We want to change our state of mind and stop bouncing between disturbing thoughts and complete numbness. We’d love to turn the volume way down on the negative chatter in our heads.

Then we learn the inside job is more than mental: NA is a spiritual program. For many of us addicts, that realization makes us feel like we’ve finally come home. For some of us, that’s the moment many of us want to bolt out the door and never come back.

But we stay. We are told that living by spiritual principles means, at its core, being honest, open-minded, and willing. Even though we haven’t been living that way, we see the value of those principles, and most of us want to be like that. When working a program, we ultimately default to telling the truth, rather than being avoidant or keeping secrets. We become open-minded to others’ perspectives rather than relying on the outlook and behaviors that got us here. Being willing to get a sponsor, attend meetings, write some stepwork, and take a commitment is surrendering to the program’s spiritual aspects. Gradually, we gain some freedom.

For those of us with more cleantime, it’s no different. Being open-minded and surrendering to change continues to be a necessity if we want any level of serenity. We can become rigid or completely lax in our program. Staying connected to NA reminds us to apply what we’ve learned and to remain open to learning more.

Change is inevitable. I can choose to resist it or surrender to it. Surrender has a good reputation around here. I think I’ll give it a try.
