Step Twelve and A Vision for You
Read Step Twelve – Working with Others pg. 89
The process of taking the action required to complete the steps and continuing to work the steps in our daily lives keeps us connected to God, and allows us to continue to grow as we travel along our spiritual path.
We get to keep ‘it’ by giving it away.
We must bring the solution to others. They tell us to start working with others right away.
Everything you need to know about working with others is in this chapter.
Read this chapter often; especially early on in your endeavor to be a sponsor.
Do this with an eye to selecting those who are willing and able to recover on a spiritual basis and ‘happy, joyous, and free’ will most certainly grow in you and those around you!
From pg. 89; “Practical experience shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive (sustained in activity) work with other alcoholics.
It works when other activities fail.”
From pg. 97; “Helping others is the foundation stone of your recovery.”
When you start working the steps with others you realize how powerful and magnificent this tool in your toolbox is. One you can always count on.
Trust in God’s power, and God’s plan, and work the steps!
Working with others produces a continued growth and spiritual experience in our lives.
“Turn your attention away from trying to prove to God what you can do, and let God prove what He can do through you.”

Read A Vision for You pg. 151
“Your job now is to be at the place where you may be of maximum helpfulness to others, so never hesitate to go anywhere if you can be helpful. You should not hesitate to visit the most sordid spot on earth on such an errand. Keep on the firing line of life with these motives and God will keep you unharmed.” Pg. 102
