A look at the 12 steps as originally started to some Changes that come from the perspective of its origins. After listening it may even change how you look in the mirror and make changes in your life. Hosted By Bernard Zeitler with an intro from a Joey Scarbourough song.

This Podcast is where the steps of recovery are linked with the Principles discussed in Episode 3.
The 12 steps began long before most believe. Consider this short intro a foundation into the 12 steps and Traditions used today. From a simple concept of community to th Oxford Group and then to what we know today. While we will only talk about those early foundations up to the original 6 word of mouth steps of AA, hopefully it will shed light on how Recovery became more structured and bound in tradition. Possibly losing some of the very foundation that includes grace.

People Growing Hope and recovery believes in the Phrase "Principles Before Personalities" as such we strive to understand principles which can help when working the steps. 
Bernard Zeitler walks through principles that apply to living recovery and helping recovery have more clarity. Becomming willing to work recovery, regardless of the addiction or possition you are in with respect to an addict helps to allow personal growth while traveling the process as equals. Sojourning rather than talking a leader -follower perspective.
