He who knows and knows he knows, he is wise—Follow him!
~Arabian saying
In
the beginning of practicing the principles of our program, a complete
understanding of them and knowing why they work is not really important.
Sponsors usually tell a newcomer, “Just do it!” and “Fake it ’til you
make it!” Analyzing “why” may become important later. But in the
beginning, we accept advice blindly because the friends who teach us
are, themselves, examples of why the principles work.
The
program we follow is a simple one. All we need to do is know that the
Steps work, and follow that knowledge.
Those who find comfortable
recovery know that what they’ve learned has been basically simple facts
about themselves and their obsessive illness.
Learning the simple facts of my illness and practicing the principles of my program will lead to wisdom and lasting recovery.
