In this weeks episode Megan shares session 4 of the 4 part series of the Beginner’s Meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous from the book Back to Basics by Wally P.
This week we cover steps 10, 11 and 12.
10-Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11-Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge ofHis will for us and the power to carry that out.
12-Having has a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to Alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
There is a moment of quiet meditation during the eleventh step portion of this episode. It’s not dead air it’s a time to pause and sit in contemplation with your Higher Power. Please do not do this while driving or operating heavy machinery though.
By the end of this episode you will have completed the steps. Congratulations! It will then be time to go out and share this life saving way with others.
Remember these steps can be applied to any substance or problem just substitute the words alcohol and alcoholism for what you are facing. Also, at the time when the book was written it was done so by men so for the excerpts from the book Alcoholics Anonymous substitute the male nouns and pronouns for female as needed.
Hope this series has helped you to break free!
Remember we recover by the steps we take not just talked about or in this case listened to. The steps must be taken with someone who understands what you are aiming to do.
Getting sober is a life and death errand. You deserve an epic life, you just need to do the work to feel and believe that.
