Step
Twelve
Having had a spiritual awakening I TRY! To carry this
message to alcoholics
"God can do for us what we cannot do for
ourselves” if we let Him!!
Step 12 is another action step working with other
alcoholics who are still active
This takes a lot of action to work with our fellow
alcoholics who are still out there
This is why we learned how to live and practice all
Twelve Steps in our daily lives
Carrying the message is the very basics of recovery
to us all who seek a new life
What I do to carry the message is very simple because
I stick to the basics of AA
Sobriety is all about my disease of alcoholism that
is not cured and never will be
If I stray to far for the teachings I will be lost
again to suffer the misery of my past
God asked me to give up one thing! Alcohol! And he
took my desire to drink away
Just as soon as I got humble and honest enough to ask
Him to do this for me
This took some time because I had to find out who I
was a step four had to be done
I found out also who I could become thru the practice
of the teachings of the 12 steps
AA gave me a new life and the tools to use with that
new life and by getting active
I will stay sober and have a useful life filled with the
same hope as those who came before me
The very basics of AA is to reach out to others who
suffer from our disease
Show them the unconditional love and friendship we
got when we came into the halls
12-step work is also being the coffee maker picking
up the chairs at the end of the meeting
Talk with others who are new open meetings sharing at the podium and cleaning up after
We always go on commitments in a group so we all feel
part of and not alone in recovery
As time passed we get more active with service work
become a secretary or treasurer
Groups have many jobs to be filled these online
meetings need support its easy to chair one
Or greet people coming in God works thru people stay
with the basics recovery will carry on
