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.
