This Sunday we begin our exploration a metaphysical perspective of Step Twelve: “Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry the message to (addicts) and to practice these principles in all our affairs.”
The Twelve Steps (1938) and Twelve Traditions (1946) established by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous have been successfully adopted by countless fellowships and recovery programs empowering 100's of thousands of people to recover from varying degrees of seemingly hopeless conditions of discomfort, disease, and desperation. In fact, these steps & traditions may well be the simplest; most particle spiritual tools available to assist each of us to "change our thinking in order to change our lives". This year we are engaging in a metaphysical exploration of the spiritual principles back of the 12-Steps and 12-Traditions and putting them into practical application in our everyday lives.
