SPONSOR/SPONSEE TWELFTH STEP WORKSHEET

"Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs."



This Step gives us direction of what we must do in our affairs. The spiritual awakening as a result of these Steps is very simple. The awakening is that the Steps work and that we must carry the message that they work to other addicts. That awakening also tells me I must practice their principles in all my affairs.

Very simply, this Step tells me to carry the message of the Steps and live them in my life. Carry the message means also that I must give to the NA program so it can give the message of the Steps to other addicts. If I am to live the Steps it means I must get involved in service in some way. I no longer have an excuse. This is not the end, it is the beginning of a new way of life. I must continue to apply the Steps daily in my life. There is never an end to learning the Steps. It is a lifetime journey. We don't graduate. We don't get a diploma. We just grow if we live the Steps, otherwise we go. Live the Steps or die.
