Remember Mindfulness – sit comfortably
Twelve Steps
The Twelve Steps are a programme of recovery from addiction that involves admitting defeat, self- improvement with help from a power greater than ourselves, making amends, and establishing healthy habits. They are summarised as:
- Giving up – Steps 1 to 3
- Cleaning up – Steps 4 to 7
- Making up – Steps 8 to 9
- Keeping up – Steps 10 to 12.
The hallmarks of this programme are abstinence, lifelong adherence to its principles and relapse prevention. People who thoroughly follow this path rarely fail. Sometimes we just need to remind ourselves of the basic components of this simple programme. Do I fully understand the basic ideas and the actions I need to take?
AA is more than a set of principles; it is a society of alcoholics in action. We must carry the message, else we ourselves can wither and those who haven’t been given the truth may die. Bill W, AA’s Legacy of Service.
Today I reflect on these words.
