… no one who learns to know himself remains just what he was before.
~ Thomas Mann
Deep inside, we all know that we’re changing. It started when we took Step One. We learned and accepted something new about ourselves. That changed us, just a little.
We no longer wanted to live as addicts. That meant we had to change and to learn to live sober. It’s been nonstop ever since: learn about ourselves, change a little, learn about ourselves, change a little more, and so on.
All we know is that each step of learning and changing makes life better. How long can it keep getting better? As long as we keep learning to know ourselves.
