12&12
Step Twelve, p.106

12&12
Step Nine, p.85
As soon as we begin to feel confident in our new way of life and have begun, by our behavior and example, to convince those about us that
we are indeed changing for
the better, it is usually
safe to talk in complete frankness with those who have been seriously
affected, even those who may be only a little

12&12
Step Twelve, p.116

12&12

12&12
Step Eleven, p.96
To be sure, we feel it is something that might help us
to meet an occasional emergency, but at first many of us are apt to regard it as a somewhat mysterious skill of clergymen, from which we may hope to get a secondhand benefit.

to other people.
12&12

this reluctance to fight
one another or anybody else is not counted as some special virtue which makes us feel superior to other people.
40.

BB
The Doctor's Opinion, p.xxviii
If any feel that as psychiatrists directing a hospital for
alcoholics we appear somewhat sentimental, let them stand with us a while on the firing line, see the tragedies, the despairing wives, the little children; let the solving of these problems become a part of their daily work, and even of their sleeping moments, and the
most cynical will not wonder that we have accepted
and encouraged this movement.

12&12
Tradition Six, p.155
The moment we saw that we had
an answer for alcoholism, it was reasonable (or so it seemed
at the time) for us to feel that
we might have the answer to a lot of other things.

BB
There Is A Solution, p.23

cut off from God's help ...
12&12
Step Eleven, p.105

they feel themselves cut off from God's help and direction.

have received from God.
12&12

face-to-face Twelfth Step work.
