I am only one, but still I am one.
I can not do everything, but still I can do something;
And because I can't do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Edward Everett Hale

We once heard someone say, " Knowing doesn't keep you sober, doing does." We get the point. Our actions, not stivtly our knowledge, will help us stay sober. Recovery is a program of action, of doing something that will contribute to our recovery today.
All the knowledge in the world won't help us recover if we don't use what we have learned. Like good intentions, knowledge is only the beginning. Next, we must do - and not do - the things we have learned will help us make progress in recovery.
It's up to us to put the steps to work in our lives today. We are responsible for eating right and exercising, going to meetings, finding a Higher Power, and praying or meditating to continually strengthen our spiritual lives.
Knowing what we must do is a good first step. Putting that knowledge into action, one day at a time, will bring us the joys of real recovery and a new life.

Today I pray that, through your power, I have what I need to take action for my recovery.
