Step Twelve Introduction - soloadmin - 04-14-2025
Revised Step 12
"Having experienced significant and powerful positive transformation through these steps and the healing process they revealed to us, we make ongoing efforts to support others in recovery by sharing our experiences and practicing these principles in our daily lives and communities."
? Meaning and Breakdown
Original Step 12:
"Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs."
This version honors that awakening while making it more accessible. Transformation becomes action — and action creates connection.
✅ "Having experienced significant and powerful positive transformation..."
- You’ve changed — deeply and meaningfully.
Reflect on it: What’s better now? What’s healed? What are you proud of?
✅ "...through these steps and the healing process they revealed to us..."
- The 12 Steps didn’t just help you quit — they helped you heal.
Use this: Return to the steps when life gets shaky. They’re a living map.
✅ "...we make ongoing efforts to support others in recovery..."
- Helping others strengthens your own recovery.
How to do it: Sponsor. Share. Be present. Be kind.
✅ "...by sharing our experiences..."
- Your story is medicine.
How to do it: Speak from the heart. Talk about your whole journey, not just the victories.
✅ "...and practicing these principles in our daily lives and communities."
- Bring your recovery values into all your spaces.
How to do it: Let honesty, compassion, and accountability guide how you treat people.
? How to Practice Step 12 Daily
- Be Available: Let people know they can come to you.
- Live Authentically: Be the same person in meetings, at work, and at home.
- Keep Growing: Read, reflect, and refine your process.
- Stay Humble: No one graduates recovery.
- Give Back: Every kind act counts.
? Key Insights
- Service Keeps You Sober: Helping others reinforces your purpose.
- You Are Proof: Your life shows that change is possible.
- The Cycle Continues: Step 12 restarts the loop — and it gets deeper each time.
? Final Thought
You don’t need to be perfect to help others — just real. Share your truth, support others, and live the values that saved your life. Step 12 is not the end. It’s the launch of something bigger than you — a life of purpose, connection, and contribution.

Note: for some reason, it currently refuses to correct the term "sponsor" to "mentor," which is the preferred terminology in SoberLogic. I am working on resolving this issue.
