1) A DAILY DISCIPLINE
. . . when they [self-examination, meditation and prayer] are logically related and interwoven, the result is an unshakable foundation for life.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 98
2) THE TWELVE STEPS
The Twelve Steps help us clean up the mess we’ve made. We’re fixing our mistakes. We’re looking at ourselves closely—at what we believe, what we feel, what we like to do, who we are. We’re asking our Higher Power to help us to be our best.
No wonder our lives are coming together! No wonder we feel more peace, harmony, and happiness!
3) SERVICE IN RECOVERY
Through acts of kindness and support, individuals not only help others stay sober but also reinforce their own commitment to their recovery. Service acts bring people together, creating a sense of purpose that enriches everyone’s lives.
4) SCHOOL OF LIFE
I don’t think happiness or unhappiness is the point. How do we meet the problems we face? How do we best learn from them and transmit what we have learned to others. On my view, we of this world are pupils in a great school of life. It is intended that we try to grow, and that we try to help our fellow travelers to grow in the kind of love that makes no demands. In short, we try to move toward the image and likeness of God as we understand Him.
