STEP TWELVE:


The Twelfth Step says that having had a
spiritual awakening, we try to carry this
message to others. Our message is one of
hope, love, comfort, health – a better way
of life, one that works.

How do we carry it? Not by rescuing. Not
by controlling. Not by obsessing. Not by
becoming evangelists for the recovery
cause.

We carry the message in many small,
subtle, but powerful ways. We do our own
recovery work and become a living
demonstration of hope, self-love, comfort,
and health.

Inviting (not ordering or demanding)
someone to go to a meeting is a powerful
way to carry the message.

Going to our meetings and sharing how
recovery works for us is a powerful way
to carry the message.

Caretaking and controlling are not ways to
carry the message.

Still, the most powerful form of helping
others comes down to helping ourselves.
We cannot change others, but we can
change ourselves.
