Step 12: “Having had 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.” 12 x 12 top of page 108 ‘…we decided that an inventory, taken alone, wouldn’t be enough. We knew we would have to quit the deadly business of living alone with our conflicts, and in honesty confide these to God and another human being. At Step Six, many of us balked—for the practical reason that we did not wish to have all our defects of character re- moved, because we still loved some of them too much. Yet we knew we had to make a settlement with the fundamental principle of Step Six. So we decided that while we still had some flaws of character that we could not yet relinquish, we ought nevertheless to quit our stubborn, rebellious hanging on to them. We said to ourselves, “This I cannot do today, perhaps, but I can stop crying out ‘No, never!’” Then, in Step Seven, we humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings such as He could or would under the conditions of the day we asked.’ Soulwork look up: balked, relinquish. Q1. Write on this acronym: DETACH: Don’t Even Think About Changing Him/Her Q2. Write on: a) Acceptance of others is the answer to all my problems and the fundamental principle of step six. b) Acceptance of my need to change myself is the answer to all my problems. Q3. Listen to another You Tube talk by Sandy Beach, Joe Hawke or Mark Houston. [Sandy Beach has written a book on Step 7 entitled: Drop the Rock]. ‘So we decided that while we still had some flaws of character that we could not yet relinquish, we ought nevertheless to quit our stubborn, rebellious hanging on to them.We said to ourselves, This I cannot do today, perhaps, but I can stop crying out ‘No, never’” Q4. Write on this and talk to God about it. Q5. Step 12 in the AA 12 x 12 is really an inventory of your time with the workshop. Really dig deep. Where are you after these past six years? b) If you plan to join the new workshop in September ask yourself what will be your step one that you need to work on. Ends
