Since Step 12 suggests that readers continue practicing what they learn in cleaning up the wreckage of the past, Bill then wrote more on this lifelong practice. In Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Step 12, he wrote, “Here we begin to practice all the Steps in our daily lives so that we and those around us may find emotional sobriety.” This session will present a Personalized Version of the Steps with questions we can ask ourselves to measure our progress. He also spoke of the Steps as a “spiritual program of action,” choosing the word “principle” to emphasize that they are “a course of action.” “To show others precisely how we have recovered is the main purpose of this book.” - Forward to the First Edition.
