The Worst Failure Is the Failure to Try
Doing nothing is the greatest failure of all. We discussed the futility of trying to avoid failure by being perfect. Another way of avoiding failure is to do nothing. T o some, passive failure is more acceptable than active failure. If we cannot control the outcome of events, we are not at fault if we fail. But since we do control whether or not we try to do something, we are at fault when we do not try. Recovery from addiction is a major step at trying. As we gain confidence, we are progressively encouraged to advance further. Coping, trying, and recovery go hand-in-hand.
