Step Twelve is filled with calls to action. These are three of them.
- First of all, understanding the meaning and the purpose of having had a spiritual awakening. It is inconceivable to me that you could thoroughly do the previous 11 steps and not have had a spiritual awakening.
- Secondly, we carry a message of hope, sobriety, and the life we could never dreamt about prior to our AAA membership and the subsequent result of the steps. The newcomer is not the most important person in the room. The fact of the matter is those of us who are in recovery need to do the best we possibly can for ourselves for if we do not recover there is not going to be anyone here when the newcomer arrives.
- Thirdly, we must then practice these principles in all our affairs. Practice is an ongoing lifestyle that we must work on daily to improve our relationship with God. It is within improve in this relationship that we become a greater value to those who might serve seeking to recover.
I hope you find yourself growing in Step Twelve as others will grow as a by- product

Robert is the Recovery Guy. Getting clean and sober on April 25, 1986 has given me the insight and practical skill set to not only stay sober, but to also re-invent myself to the person I always wanted to become. Showing others how to do this is my life goal.
