The question is, how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? ~What the Bleep do we Know?

Going down the rabbit hole is a metaphor for losing control. At one time, that loss of control meant being on psychedelics or drunk out of our minds. Today, our rabbit holes are character defects. When we lose our temper, are perpetually late, shamelessly criticize, or quick to condemn, we are falling down a rabbit hole. We know we are falling, but knowing is not enough. Even thinking we won’t fall again is not enough. If having the right thoughts were enough, we wouldn’t need C.D.A. Few of us had a shortage of good thoughts when it came to controlling the use of drugs. And yet, when that craving hit, our minds cleverly found a handy excuse to use “just one more time.” Then, down the rabbit hole we went. Ultimately, we see that our very best thoughts can’t save us. Instead, we find it is only our very best actions that will keep us out of the rabbit hole. Recovery has little to do with thinking or theories; it is our actions that count.

I don’t think myself into right action.

I act myself into right thinking.

I started to build a pathway of program action, and that opened up the world for me.
