Step 12

Step 12 is the start of a lifelong mission. It is to take the message to other alcoholics, to be of service, and to practice the 12 steps in all our affairs. It aims to reinforce one’s internal lessons while externally guiding others. You will have a new lifestyle and paradigm after encountering each of the 12 steps. This transformation helps North Palm Beach Recovery Center’s clients get inspired and helps them to recover.

To help remain sober it’s beneficial for you (and the North Palm Beach community) to carry this message to addicted individuals - paying it forward. Step 12 encourages you to take these new lessons, paradigms, and healing with you in and out of the fellowship. You should practice these principles at work, home, and all other affairs.

1. Have you been able to reach out to another recovering addict? If so, describe the situation and how it feels to you.
2. What kind of approach would you like to have had when you first started the program? How can you implement that type of approach in your life to others now?
3. What would you say if someone asked how the 12 Step program has worked for you?
4. How do you usually handle conflict? Do you know of any way to be more effective in conflict resolution? If so, how would you become more effective? What would be the steps?
5. How much time do you want to and are able to allow for working with others on their program? How will you go about setting that time aside?
6. What outside resources can you call on when you need help as a sponsor?
