Soul work AA 12 x 12 page 106 Step Twelve: ‘Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.’ If you have not already done so, listen to the recording of the summary of steps 1, 2 and 3. Callback No. 641 715 3900. Part 1: pin no. 235934# Part 2: pin no. 578290# Each week from the website pick a handout that you find especially valuable in your walk with the Big Book. Share it with your buddy and get a folder and write on it, this would be good for step 1, 2. etc. Circle the word ‘tried’. We tried to carry this message to alcoholics. That is an affirmative. Break down the 12th step and write on each of phrase: Q1. a) Having had a spiritual awakening (that is an affirmative that you have had one) b) As a direct result of doing these steps. c) We tried to carry this message to others What is the message? Q2. With God’s help I carry the message and not the mess. What would you consider the mess? Q3. And to practice these principles in all our affairs. a) What are the principles you are practising? b) And why should you practice patience, tolerance and love? Q4. How are you doing if in any of your affairs you are having a hard time? Q5. Is the joy of living the theme of your life? [Do you have the joy of living in your home, at your 12-step groups? Do you have the joy of living at work, church, the grocery store, at the registry of motor vehicles when there is a two-hour line? When you are by yourself? When there is an accident on the highway and traffic is backed up? When things are not going your way?] Write this down. Having joy = being grateful. Being grateful brings joy. That is the equation. Gratitude brings the joy of living and the joy of living perpetuates gratitude. Gratitude is an action word whereas joy is an attitude. Ends

Callback No. 641 715 3900. Part 1: pin no. 235934# Part 2: pin no. 578290# Go to the handouts, pick one and share about it with your buddy. Those who have already done this go back to the handouts and find another one. Each week pick a handout that you find very valuable in your walk with the Big Book. Get a folder and write on it, this would be good for step 1, 2. etc. [When we start the big book workshop again we will be using handouts. They are great and an untapped resource for your recovery and for helping others.] Page 102:2. 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. Q1. What does it mean for you to be of maximum helpfulness to others? Q2. How do you feel about breaking your anonymity to all your friends and family? You should not hesitate to visit the most sordid spot on earth on such an errant. Keep on the firing line of life with these motives and God will keep you unharmed. Q3. What’s the most sordid spot you have ever been to help somebody? Keep on the firing line of life and God will keep you unharmed. A PROMISE Many of us keep liquor in our homes. We often need it to carry green recruits through a severe handover. Some of us still serve it to our friends provided they are not alcoholic. But some of us think we should not serve liquor to anyone. We never argue this question. We feel that each family, in the light of their own circumstances ought to decide for themselves. Q4. How do you feel about serving sugar and flour, alcohol, stuff like that? We are careful never to show intolerance or hatred of drinking/sugar and flour, pot, over-eating, cluttered house, as an institution. Q5. Write on this. Q6. What do you do when you know you are feeling intolerant? Q7. Is there any area of your life you are intolerant to? After all, our problems were of our own making. Bottles were only a symbol. Besides, we have stopped fighting anybody or anything. We have to! Q9. After all our problems with alcoholic/speed/sugar and flour/overeating and co-dependency/clutter and many others things are of our own making. Write on this. Q8. Have you stopped fighting anybody or any institution or anything Ends 4/12/2018 0 Comments Recording For April 12, 2018(week 326 ) 12 April 2018

Q1 When was the last event that you went to that you know you were not a gift? [You had things which were preventing you from being the best sober recovered person you could be]. Write what you needed to do to be right with them. [e.g. I needed to do an inventory, talk to my sponsor, write out a resentment, etc.] . Q2. Then write an example of the exact opposite. When was the last event you brought yourself as a gift to others? [You were really able to be present and brought peace, joy and sobriety and recovery within yourself]. Q3. Try to increase the pleasure of those there. Write on this. Do you think that should be the motivation for everything you do? ‘Go and attend to your business enthusiastically.’ Q4.

Is this tempting God? Are you still in an alcoholic mind with your addiction? Q2. When was the last place you went where there was drinking or an excessive amount of over-eating? look up: vicarious Q3. When was the last time you stole some vicarious pleasure? Q4. Have you been judgemental of those doing behaviours that you know you cannot do? look up: apprehension 5. ‘Having no apprehension.’ What does that mean to you?
