Step by Step #essentialsofrec
Today, I look to the 12th Step to ask if I am an effective carrier of the message. Before I can pass the message, Step 12 requires that I first have a spiritual awakening and, second, that I practice the principles of all 12 Steps and Traditions in “all our affairs.” If, on honest evaluation, I can truthfully attest to a spiritual awakening and to practicing the principles embodied in the 12 Steps “in my affairs,” I might be an effective carrier of the message to someone who is both struggling to get and stay sober. But if I scoff at the idea of a spiritual awakening or I apply some of the Program’s principles selectively, how can I be an effective 12th-Stepper, how can I carry a message I have not embraced? Because a way of keeping what I have been given in the program is to give it away, I seek wisdom from my Higher Power to be humbled to carry the Program’s message. And our common journey continues.
