Twelve-step principles, if given daily attention, will change our lives.
Any skill takes practice—whether it’s cooking, using a computer, playing a sport, or even flying a plane. We might want to be great at something right away, but deep down, we know it takes time and effort. The same goes for the Twelve Steps.
Applying them daily can truly change our lives, but just wishing for change isn’t enough. The good news? We have a process that helps us shift how we feel every single day. Those little moments of growth and insight can happen anytime—just by using one of the Steps to navigate our thoughts and emotions.
And the best part? The only thing it really costs us is the time it takes to remember to use them. With practice, these principles become second nature, making life a whole lot smoother.

Today’s Affirmation:
My day will be manageable when I remember to use the Steps.
Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a key resource for alcoholics in recovery worldwide, with over nine million copies in print. This revised “little book” offers daily reflections, meditations, and prayers to support a clean and sober life, with practical spiritual guidance for everyday living.
Karen Casey is also the author of Each Day a New Beginning. She has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her recovery from addiction started in Twelve-Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
