Here is the link for the MP3 from the meeting.

This week we continued our discussion and study of Step 11.

We read and discussed the handouts on Step 11. In addition, we read and discussed some of the highlights from the book “Recovery, the 12 Steps and Jewish Spirituality: Reclaiming Hope, Courage and Wholeness” by Rabbi Paul Steinberg and from the website Reflectionsrecovery.com (which is no longer available as of 12/2/2020)

Next week, we will begin to divide our time between the unpopular guide for Step 11 and the OA 12 and 12.

As we read from these 2 sources, I would like us to also to include in our discussion prayer and meditation and how we can begin to practice both on a daily basis.

Reminder of ongoing personal “homework”: why not read the AA Big Book and the 12 and 12 and create your own personal Step 10 and 11 inventory? I would love us to be able to share with each other what we create!

We are now starting the heart and soul of emotional sobriety: living in the solution, seeking conscious contact with the God of our understanding and carrying the message to those who still suffer.

Please feel free to read the handouts to share your thoughts with the group.

Looking forward to “seeing” you all next week!

With blessings for peace & recovery,

Shira
