The Power Of Two of us together is our strength. We concur that a fellowship of recovered members is a power greater than ourselves alone. The only requirement for membership is a desire for total abstinence from alcohol and other mind altering chemicals. We are alcoholics and addicts who gather and honestly share our recovery experience. In this group, we do this without reliance upon religious, spiritual, or magical frames of reference. We are not here to argue, convert, condemn, or debate agnostic or religious beliefs. We are here to demonstrate that recovery is possible without a religious foundation. We recommend following any step program with guidance from a sponsor or tutor. This group suggests an adapted 6 step version of A.A.’s 12 steps. Step 1. ADMISSION We admit defeat. We admit we lost the power of choice concerning alcohol and drugs. We admit our lives were unmanageable. Step 2. WILLINGNESS We choose to be willing to keep an open mind, take action, and follow suggestions. Step 3. DISCOVERY We make an honest personal inventory; focusing on resentments, fears, and self centered behaviors. Step 4. EXPOSURE We share our personal inventory with a sponsor. With their aid and experience, we gain clarity of our issues and destructive patterns, and an understanding of our part in creating roadblocks to change. Step 5. RESTITUTION We make restitution with guidance, to the best of our ability, to anyone we have injured. We refrain from creating additional injury to others and ourselves by doing so. Step 6. SPONSORSHIP We maintain abstinence, and continue to practice personal discovery and exposure, seeking honesty, humility, and tolerance while sponsoring others to follow this course of action. |
