Involvement

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I
remember, involve me and I learn.
Benjamin Franklin.

This often-quoted piece of wisdom is behind a lot of
successful enterprises, including Twelve Step
fellowships. The three legacies of Alcoholics
Anonymous are Recovery, Unity and Service and all
three are intended to foster the idea of involvement.
They could be described in another way as Action,
Responsibility and Giving. Do I see my recovery as
involvement in the Twelve Step fellowships?

Studies show a correlation between degree of
involvement in Twelve Step fellowships and
successful outcomes in terms of sobriety. These
fellowships must be among the least controlled or
regulated organisations on the planet, yet they work
if you want them to – in other words, if you want to
get involved. There is something very simple yet
very special about that, and Twelve Step members
are right to feel grateful. Today I give thanks to God
for the beautiful simplicity of the Twelve Step
fellowships in which I am involved.
