Quote of the Week

“Easy does it, but do it.”

I was quite a procrastinator before recovery. I had a lot of good ideas, but I didn’t want to act on them until I had thought things through and the time was right. For example, I wanted to go back to college, but I thought I should have my house paid off first. I wanted to get married, but thought I should actually have a house first. Regarding drinking, I thought I would be able to stop once I had a good job that allowed me to get a house, a wife, go to school, etc. I didn’t get much done.

In sobriety, there seemed like a lot of things I could do. I could get commitments, get a sponsor, work the Steps, and, oh yeah, stay sober. When I saw the saying on the wall that said, “Easy does it,” I relaxed and thought I’d just keep thinking about it all. And that’s when my new sponsor told me there is a chapter in the Big Book called, “Into Action,” not “Into Thinking.” He suggested I get busy.
​​​​​​​
I’m so thankful he directed me to jump in and become part of the program. He told me I should take contrary action if I didn’t feel like taking action, and that if I brought the body, the mind would follow. He told me that “Easy does it,” refers to my tendency to obsess and over do things, and that the “But do it,” part refers to my resistance to change. I learned that I can’t think myself sober – or into any of the things I want in life -- but if I take action, I can live the life of my dreams.
