Action
Action is the magic word!
With a positive, helpful attitude and regular AA action,
I can stay sober and help others to achieve sobriety.
My attitude now is that I am willing to go to any length to stay sober!

Hi Family, Paul here, and I am a grateful recovering alcoholic. By God's grace, this program, and all of you, I am alive and sober today. I had one of those sponsors that whenever they ask for someone to volunteer, he volunteered me. At first, I fought doing the Steps, but he had a way about him that got me into doing them. In Step One, we admit we are powerless. Step Two, we come to believe a Power greater than us can restore us to sanity, and in Step Three, we make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to that Power. Through that decision we begin taking the 'action Steps,' Four through Nine. By taking the actions we become free of the obsession of alcohol. In Steps Ten, Eleven and Twelve, we live the Steps in our lives. That's the way my sponsor taught me and today because of that, I am a totally different person and continue to take the actions needed to stay happy, joyous, and free. Thanks goes to God, a good sponsor, the Steps, this program, and all of you for my life and sobriety today.
