“The joy of living is the theme of A.A.’s Twelfth Step, and action is its key word.” – 12&12 p.106

I sometimes forget that the program says, once we’ve really done our best to work the first Eleven Steps, it’s time to enjoy life. I do that by letting go of old behaviors that no longer serve me, and choosing new actions I’ve learned through working my program. Sure there will always be bumps in the road, but I no longer need to make mountains out of them. When I consistently practice these principles in all my affairs, I get to enjoy life. This new way of living rocks. ILML!
