“Keep Coming Back”

The AA saying "keep coming back, it works if you work it" encapsulates two fundamental truths about successful recovery: the importance of consistent participation and the necessity of active engagement. This deceptively simple phrase addresses both the persistence required for recovery success and the reality that recovery is not a passive process—it requires deliberate, ongoing effort and commitment.

This self-assessment is designed to help you examine your relationship with both aspects of this crucial recovery principle. It explores your patterns of consistency in recovery participation, identifies areas where you might be engaging passively rather than actively, and helps you develop stronger commitment to both showing up regularly and working your recovery program with genuine effort and engagement.
