This week we continued our work on Step 12, in our new format on “The Principles and Promises of Step 12 in the AA Big Book.”

We read and discussed the chapter “The Family Afterward”.

We reached a milestone and we completed the chapter.

We also read and discussed how dishonesty in the step 4 inventory can also refer to “what assumptions am I making?”

We read and discussed The 4 Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz on “making assumptions.”

Additional information on this topic was posted on the blog earlier today.

Next week, I would like us to briefly discuss the AA slogan “First Things First,” “Live and Let Live,” and “Easy Does It.” I will post more information about this on the blog throughout the week.

After that, we will begin reading and discussing “To Employers” in the AA Big Book.

I copied the questions from the site BBstudygroup.com as a word document in columns. I printed it up and then added the questions directly into my AA Big Book.

Here is the link for the document:

I find that it helps me focus my reading of the text.

Thank you all for sharing your experience, strength and hope.

Together we can do what we can never do alone.

I am grateful to be sharing this journey with all of you!

Looking forward to “seeing” you all next week!

With blessings for recovery and peace,

Shira
