EASY DOES IT #essentialsofrecovery

ACTION

Faith is spelled A-C-T-I-O-N.

~ Anonymous 

Again and again, we are told that our recovery program is, above all, one of action. We are constantly reminded that “nobody can do it for you.” Yet the action in our Program is not a singular effort. It involves every member.

In a boatload of people, one person paddling with a single oar will make little progress. Everyone must row if the whole boatload is to survive. Our Program truly is a fellowship. We all work together toward our common goal, recovery. Each of us contributes to the progress of all.

During the times we were driven by our addictions and compulsions, we were often uneasy about our friendships. The new friendships we’ve found in recovery are some of the rewards of our present lifestyle.

I am learning that unless I take action to further my recovery, faith and growth are impossible. But I need my friendships also. In recovery, I don’t “think less of myself, I think of myself less.”
