A LIFELONG TASK
“But just how, in these circumstances, does a fellow ‘take it easy?’
That’s what I want to know.”
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 26
I was never known for my patience. How many times have I asked,
“Why should I wait, when I can have it all right now?” Indeed, when
I was first presented the Twelve Steps, I was like the proverbial “kid
in a candy store.” I couldn’t wait to get to Step Twelve; it was surely
just a few months’ work, or so I thought! I realize now that living
the Twelve Steps of A.A. is a lifelong undertaking.
