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.’ Big Book Chapter 7: Working With Others top of page 96 : ‘Do not be discouraged if your prospect does not respond at once. Search out another alcoholic and try again. You are sure to find someone desperate enough to accept with eagerness what you offer. We find it a waste of time to keep chasing a man who cannot or will not work with you. If you leave such a person alone he may soon become convinced that he cannot recover by himself. To spend too much time on any one situation is to deny some other alcoholic an opportunity to live and be happy. One of our Fellowship failed entirely with his first half dozen prospects. He often says that if he had continued to work on them he might have deprived many others, who have since recovered, of their chance. Q1. Know when to ‘hold and when to fold.’ How does that expression relate to the above paragraph? 96:2 Suppose now you are making your second visit to a man. He has read this volume and says he is prepared to go through with the Twelve Steps of the program of recovery. Having had the experience yourself, you can give him much practical advice. Let him know you are available if he wishes to make a decision and tell his story, but do not insist upon it if he prefers to consult someone else. above the word ‘advice’ write ‘suggestion’. Q2. If you met somebody at a 12th step meeting and learned of their need, what would you do? Be honest. Q3. Reflect back on what people gave to you when you came in. Write as much as you can - basically a big essay on gratitude going back to your beginnings. Q4. Write on the expression: ‘Play it forward.’ What does it mean to you in 12th step recovery and in your life? Q5. Can you tell the difference between carrying someone on your back and the delicate balance of walking side by side with them? Ends
