Don't Fight Success

Sobriety is not a philosophical concept. An attorney related how his first experiences with AA resulted in repeated relapses. He asked a seasoned veteran what he was doing wrong, and was told that his error was trying to understand the program. Just listen and do as you're told. I elected to experiment by listening and following instructions for just a short period of time, and here I am, 25 years sober. It has been wisely said, Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other. Sobriety is achieved by doing, not by thinking.
