12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others who still suffer, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
If you've been working the steps along with these postings, congratulations. However, you might be saying to yourself "I still have problems! Things still go wrong!" Don't worry. You haven't been cheated. The Twelve Steps are new tools, not a panacea. You learn how to deal with your past and your present to improve your future.
However, even if you're not perfect, I'm sure you're better. I am not acquainted with someone who has seriously worked the steps and not felt better for it. So tell people you know that there is an alternative to perpetual suffering. Spread the word.

Doing the Aca steps added more to my recovery helped me let go of more of the 'not good enough' stuff and carrying the message of recovery became something I felt good about.
