Hello! I am new to your boards, but not new to Al-Anon. I have come here to review step work but do not seem to see activity here, on this board.

Some people say that the steps and the traditions go together by number. Like step 1 is connected with tradition 1, step 2 with traditions 2 and so on.

Thanks everyone for being here & your patience if you stick this out! I'd like to share my ESH re Step 12 :) It took me a while to move from Step 11 as I was frightened & feeling overwhelmed that I wouldn't have anything to give to anyone else as I could still be confused in my own program.
