June 24


If you can’t do the little things, how in the fuck do you expect to do the big things? This is hard for us alcoholics and addicts to understand in sobriety. We think we know what we need to do. We are sure to have the answers. We want to rush headlong into solving what we think the problem is. You will hear things like, “Make your bed.” or “Take out the trash after you do the dishes.” And that stuff simply does not align with what we think we should do. The problem is that we are still thinking and not listening to what others have done who have successfully solved the problem. They made their beds, took out the trash, got jobs, worked the 12 Steps, went to therapy, and didn’t drink/drug one day at a time. They didn’t get sober and were suddenly struck wonderful by their fairy godsponsor. They did little things each day that amounted to big changes in the long haul.
