I am new to this. I have never done the 12 steps and I am not sure now it works or how it works online. Can someone give me a few pointers on how I go about it? I think read somewhere on this site that I need to join a group but I haven't been able to find that page since. Thanks in advance.
Go ahead and ask, under the 12 step groups post you are aligned with. Try to keep your questions in relation to the current step your group is addressing, or steps previously addressed by your group on the board. All other inquiries should be placed on your groups main message board.
On this board, you can venture around and see how others work and apply the 12 steps to their lives, but we ask that everyone stick to posting under the group you are personally aligned with. Please avoid posting under a 12 step group you are not aligned with. This will keep things from getting confusing to the newcomer who is trying to work the steps as outlined, without meshing it all together in a way that is only more confusing.
Also, another avenue this can be done is to read the post under your group, and pick someone that appears to have experience with the step you are wanting to ask a question to, and send them a private message. This way you start the process of involving someone else in your step work process, if you haven't done so already. Remember this is a We program, not a self help program. We can do together, what none of us could have done alone....
