Have you ever thought, "Is there is more to life"? What is my purpose here on earth? Why can’t I get REAL enjoyment from life? Or have you started drinking, gambling or eating too much and you don't know why?
We may have an answer for you, the 12 steps. It's not just for alcoholics and addicts. They can work for you too. The unique success that 12 step programs have enjoyed as a result of the steps is due to their simplicity. The truth is the steps are a basic process that will work for anyone. The 12 steps are really a spiritual program which was born out of the Oxford Group whose main purpose was for people to get in concert with God's will for them.
Do the 12 Steps really work? That question could be answered by the millions of lives that have been saved and hundreds of family members that have had their families reunited. Today there are over 100 groups who use these steps as the basis for members to recover from alcohol, drugs, food or an assortment of addictions. Anyone, however, addicted or not, can utilize these steps to enhance and make more real their own individual spirituality.
The word has a nice ring to it, Re-cov-ery,
For the addict and the alcoholic, Recovery involves a radical change in lifestyle . . . .
For both the addict and the non-addict recovery means the happiness, joy and fulfilment that comes from living a life in accord with the will of the Creator.
Anyone interested in living a vibrant, active spiritual life is invited to attend. The classes will take about an hour, and will meet weekly for a 6-week period and sponsors who have experienced the steps will be there to guide you through the process.

The 12-step movement was founded on the principle of allying one’s will to that of a Higher Power of our own understanding. To do that, i.e. to follow our Destiny, is, in the end, the only thing that will bring us real and lasting happiness . If your life seems in disarray or short on purpose or meaning, come and experience this happiness, and then share it with others. As the AA Big Book states, your life will take on new meaning…you will suddenly realize God is doing for you what you could not do for yourself…
