Step Twelve -Al-Anon
Permalink  

Step Twelve - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principals in all our affairs.From: Al-Anon Works pg 63 - (copyright 1995, by Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. Limited use by express written permission of Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc.)This Step implies that by working all of the Steps, we will undergo a spiritul awakening. Although a spiritual awakening is a highly personal experience, many of us define it as a kind of transformation, a radical change in perception as a resuls of our taking the Steps. Sometimes a spiritual awakening happens abruptly - in a flash of insight or the instantaneous removal of an obsession - and the whole world suddenly looks new. More commonly, though, we experience a gradual awakening of the spirit, a gentle metamorphosis in the way we see ourselves and others, a slow and subtle unfolding of our own inner beauty. Some of us actually feel reborn, hopeful, free of the fears and burdens that had previously prevented us from truly living. Thus, although our circumstances may not have changed, our lives improve dramatically because we perceive them in a new and clearer way.Love you all - sorry I've not been posting but am having a problem at this end. John is going to post for me for now. Dot

hi Dot Rose and aunitedway , good to be back , great weather but no time to enjoy it !  beautiful quote that you chose here that describes the essence of this programme in a way how it naturally unfolds like that . I like this one too for me :

From: Courage to Change pg 209 - (copyright 1992 , by Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. Limited use by express written permission of Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc.)

" I can't keep thoughts from coming into my head , but I have a choice about whether or not to entertain those thoughts for the next hour. Am I making the choices I want to make , or is habit making my choices for me ? A change of attitude means a change in my thinking . I will look at the principles I am practicing today "


hugs llol Vickyr x
