Take the next indicated step

I’ve taken a great phrase from a good program friend, who of course got it from someone else: “Take the next indicated step.”

What should I do next? The answer is “the next indicated step”. If you don’t know what that is, and we often don’t, ask your sponsor, or grand-sponsor. It’s probably (in no exact order):
  1. Work a step
  2. Write a resentment sheet
  3. Pray
  4. Go to a meeting
  5. Call someone
  6. Be accountable to someone for the day
  7. Write out a gratitude list
  8. Get some exercise
  9. Take a short nap
  10. Confess an action to someone
  11. Make an amends

Don’t let the fact that you’re lost now take you away from having a better future because you can’t see it right now. Start with the right thing now and trust that God will get you to the intended place later.
