On the Twelve Steps

"As finally expressed and offered, they are simple in language, plain in meaning. They are also workable by any person having a sincere desire to obtain and keep sobriety. The results are the proof. Their simplicity and workability are such that no special interpretations, and certainly no reservations, have ever been necessary. And it has become increasingly clear that the degree of harmonious living which we achieve is in direct ratio to our earnest attempt to follow them literally under Divine guidance to the best of our ability."

Doctor Bob

 

See the entire text of Dr. Bob's article "The Fundamentals--In Retrospect," first published in the Septermber 1948 Grapevine at www.aagrapevine.org

The steps are simple, plain, and anyone can work them, Nothing special is needed. The extent to which we try to carry out God's will for us produces the same amount of harmonious living for us..

"...I'll never forget the first time I met Bill Wilson. I was a couple of months sober and so excited, so thrilled to actually meet the co-founder that I gushed all over him with what my sobriety meant to me and my undying grattitute for his starting A.A. When I ran down, he took my hand in his and said simply, "Pass it on.' " ~from a lettter to the A.A. General Service Office
