12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous Part 1

Deborah's Little Gems

 The first formal steps I took  out of my chaotic life were the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Going back 31 years, at age 39, I took my first steps to freedom. I found my way to the meeting through a hospital program in which my former husband was attending. It was part of a hospital chemical dependency program commitment. I attended the CDC Program to support my alcoholic husband. He had promised to get help after I left the home after a spiritual realization I had one day. 

The 12 Steps are worded in a language from the 1930's  The more you read the Big Book and practice its teachings in your life, the more you come to understand it. If you want to learn about the man who began this organization of Alcoholics Anonymous, you can read about him and how he came to know Dr. Bob, here: http://www.steppingstones.org/billsstory.html it is a very good history read.
