Pray. Act. Repeat.

I took me a while (okay decades) to figure it out, but I took my pain away by taking action.

There are three steps to my abbreviated recipe for recovery:
​

Step 1: Pray

Step 2: Act. This is the most essential step. If you don't take action, nothing gets done. You don't grow. Or contribute. It feels exceedingly and increasingly good to grow and contribute. I had no idea!

Step 3: Repeat.


​When enough was enough (and each of knows, in our heart of hearts, when enough is enough)...
when I was exhausted and out of excuses...
when I had one foot in the grave...

I stepped away from the cliff's edge. 

I didn't figure it out alone. It took an AA village.

I hope you don't have to get to that point.
