“The spiritual life is not a theory. We have to live it.”
“The spiritual life is not a theory. We have to live it.” — Alcoholics Anonymous (1939) · Chapter 6 · Into ActionWhere it comes from
From Chapter 6, in the middle of the amends instructions — a reminder that the program is something done, not something believed.
Today’s reflectionYou can’t think your way into recovery any more than you can read your way into physical fitness. The program is verbs: admit, ask, list, make, continue, carry. Insight is lovely, but an honest phone call beats a brilliant realization every time. Whatever you understood about yourself this week — what would it look like to do it today?
