Action
As we go through the day we pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought or action. . .
We alcoholics are undisciplined. So we let God discipline us in the simple way we have just outlined.
But this is not all. There is action and more action.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 87-88
Thought to Ponder . . .
Right actions for the future are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past.

Hi, I'm Meg, and I'm an alcoholic. My favorite Chapter in the Big Book is "Into Action," also the Third Step prayer means a great deal to me. I always felt I had to be perfect, and was so afraid of messing up that I wouldn't move forward with a decision. The fact is that action is necessary in life for us to grow and change and evolve. We get stuck sometimes and that's natural. When we do get stuck, it's important to reach out so that we can take that next step so we don’t stay stuck. Awareness, acceptance, and then action are most important. In working the Steps and asking for experience, strength and hope from others I can take action even though I'm scared because I know the rooms will always be there for me as will all of you. Action is crucial to recovery and its progress; not perfection. Thanks for letting me share.
