Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. ∼Aristotle

The Steps don’t know or care who works them. The Steps don’t know or care how many times they are worked. Step Three doesn’t discern, “Oh, this guy is special, he doesn’t need me.” Just as Step Four doesn’t say, “This gal has got a great mind. She doesn’t need to write down an inventory. Keeping it in her head will be fine.” Members of C.D.A. have learned that if you work the Steps, they will work. The only time they do not work is when you do not work them. So, we get into the habit of working our Steps by doing them in the manner suggested by our sponsors. We are what we repeatedly do! We ask ourselves, “What am I doing today that defines who I am?”

I work the Steps so they can work on me.

As we work the Steps, our spirits begin to heal, developing a relationship with a higher power.
