Step 6 – Recovered 1259

By: Mark S

July 12, 2022

Step Six of AA’s Alcoholics Anonymous Twelve Step program of recovery is all about the removal of what doesn’t work in our lives anymore. Since you have completed Step Four and Five you surely have plenty of things that were revealed to you about what you need to get rid of!

So now it’s time to allow a Higher Power to cut out these attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors at the source. You get to partner up with your Higher Power and make a firm decision to let go of the character defects and flaws that have been ruling your life and leading to self-destruction.

The exact wording of step 6 is:

Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Tonight, we talk about Step 6

Step 5 – Recovered 1257

By: Mark S

July 6, 2022

Step Five of AA’s Alcoholics Anonymous Twelve Step Program is essential to the fundamental change of personality required to overcome an alcohol or drug addiction. In its simplest form, the fifth step is basically a confession of personal wrongdoings and the beginnings of your spiritual housecleaning.

Although in step four we admitted the exact nature of our wrongs, the process of clearing away the wreckage of the past would not be completed until we have shared those wrongs with another person in step five. A well-chosen person to be part of this healing process helps us to become aware of our own self-delusion, where we have not been sincere, and where there are patterns of destructive thoughts and behaviors.

The exact wording of step 5 is:

We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Tonight, we talk about Step 5

Step 4 – Recovered 1254

By: Mark S

June 29, 2022

Step Four of AA’s Twelve-Step Program of recovery is infamously the “scary” one, probably because it’s a crucial step towards effective and lasting recovery. Since the overall philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous is that alcoholism is just a symptom of a spiritual disease, the real problem is in character flaws that need to be faced and overcome. This requires an inventory that will become the blueprint for your success.

The exact wording of step 4 is:

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves..

Step 3 – Recovered 1255

By: Mark S

June 22, 2022

Recovery is a spiritual process and step three is when the doors of hope, faith, and trust are opened. The essence of step three is turning over your will, getting out of the way, and being restored to reality, honesty, and peace of mind.

When working on step three we take a look at how acting on self-will means behaving without any consideration for others, focusing only on what we want and ignoring the needs and feelings of others. While we were busy pursuing these impulses, we mostly left a path of destruction behind us, and we definitely lost touch with our Higher Power.

The exact wording of Step 3 is:

Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

Step 2 – Recovered 1253

By: Mark S

June 8, 2022

Many of us also struggle with the words “power greater than ourselves,” interpreting that language to mean “God” or “organized religion.” However, this is not what that phrase means. Instead, these words typically refer to a mix of things like 12-step recovery groups, supportive friends and family, therapists, therapy groups, etc. For some of us, God and religion enter the mix; for others, not so much.

Ultimately, the definition of “power greater than ourselves” depends as much on our personal belief system as anything else. So this step is less about God/religion and more about admitting that help is needed. Step 2 is a realization and an admission that we cannot establish lasting sobriety and recovery on our own. We need help.

Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

The easiest way to work step 2 is to actually begin accepting help. Sometimes this starts with a sponsor when that person offers to help you work through the steps.
