TAKING ACTION
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are
being fulfilled among us–sometimes quickly, sometimes
slowly. They will always materialize if we work for
them.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84
One of the most important things A.A. has given me, in
addition to freedom from booze, is the ability to take
“right action.” It says the promises will ALWAYS
materialize if I WORK for them. Fantasizing about them,
debating them, preaching about them and faking them
just won’t work. I’ll remain a miserable, rationalizing
dry drunk. By taking action and working the Twelve Steps
in all my affairs, I’ll have a life beyond my wildest
dreams.
