An Action Plan

An action plan is the process of identifying and implementing attainable actions that are necessary to support our individual abstinence. Just like our plan of eating, it may vary widely among members and may need to be adjusted to bring structure, balance, and manageability into our lives. ~The Tools of Recovery pamphlet
What's an action?
Certainly a physical workout,
a walk, a time of yoga,
gym machines.
But writing three gratitudes?
Sitting outside in the sun,
pondering, listening?
Calling people you've met,
those you know well
and others you really don't know?
Writing morning pages?
Reading from three pieces of literature
every day?
Taking a bath when you want food?
Going to a meeting early
to put out chairs?
Yes. That's an action plan,
any part of it or several
or other things entirely.
And that Action Plan is a tool,
a tool of Recovery,
a way to grow healthy
physically, mentally,
and spiritually.
