Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Working the Twelve Steps
The Twelve Steps are numbered because they are meant to be taken in order. For instance, we must admit we are powerless over our addiction before the other Steps can help us. Likewise, Step Four would be too painful if we had not turned our wills and our lives over in Step Three. And how can we make amends before we realize whom we have hurt? We take Step Twelve only after we have completed all the other Steps.
The hop-skip-jump method of working the Steps is not reliable and might hop-skip-jump us back to addiction.
Do I work all Twelve Steps of the program in order?
Higher Power, give me the strength to take each Step in order.
Today I will review my progress on each of the Steps and re-enter the order with…
