This week I briefly shared on what is a harm according to program literature.

We explored the connection between Step 12 and Tradition 12. We read and discussed Tradition 12 in the book Living The Twelve Traditions in Today’s World — Principles Before Personalities by Mel B. and Michael Fitzpatrick (2012). We also read and discussed the chapter on Anonymity and Step 12 in The Unpopular Guide.  Finally, we read and shared on the chapter “To Employers” up to page 137:2.

Next week, I would like us to continue reading and discussing “To Employers” in the AA Big Book and The Unpopular Studies In The Last Three Steps.

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:

Exercise To employers landscape

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
