I was working on this with an alanon friend:  Awareness, Acceptance, and Action.  I was thinking that the awareness and acceptance are kind of the warm up to take action.  It can be a small action or a huge one.  It's easier for me to tap into a slogan or a step, but if I take the time to remember the 3 A's, this can be very helpful.  So when I'm in a troubling situation, I want to Think, and pull up all my tools.  I really have a great toolbox!
