Step Twelve
To
watch the
eyes of
men and
women open with
wonder as they
move from
darkness into
light, to see their
lives quickly fill with new
purpose and
meaning, to see
whole families reassembled, to see the
alcoholic outcast received back into his
community in
full citizenship, and above all to
watch these people
awaken to
the
presence of a
loving
God in their
lives -- these
things are the
substance of what we
receive as we
carry A.A.'s
message to the
next alcoholic.
