Step 12 says, having had a spiritual awaking as a result of these steps, we carried the message to the alcoholic still suffering and practice these principles in all of our affairs.

Wait, I thought this was about stopping drinking?  So I have to use these principles in my life outside of drinking?  I'm not sure I signed up for that.

What we've learned through the steps is our daily living.  Drinking was the solution to the root cause.  Applying the principles we found in recovery is not a band aid, it's the solution to the root cause so we don't have to drink anymore. 

It can be hard to give yourself over to a new way of living that will make the drink an unnecessary part of your life.  Join John, Steve and Matt as they talk about how they make the 12 steps the thing that improves their life, daily.

Did you notice the new name?  We are now Sober Friends.  We just wanted to share this message to as many people as possible and the "right" name makes it more searchable.  It's the same great sober talk as before.
