How To Work with Others In 12 Step Recovery

This book is for all who wish to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous. It has been a rewarding pleasure that has filled my heart and soul with gratitude and joy over the past years to work with and alongside the newcomer, sponsee's, sponsors, bleeding deacons, elder statesmen and the old-timers of Alcoholics Anonymous. During the course of working with these members we have found and applied various suggestions when working with sponsee's who wish to work the steps. This book is compiled from the knowledge of the Big Book of AA and the members of the fellowship that have completed the steps and the hard lessons of the ones who have not or never will. It is a book of basic communication and human relationship skills used alongside the 12 steps as outlined in the Big Book and 12x12. The purpose of this book is to assist members who are carrying the message of AA. We have attempted to cover the situations one most encounters when sponsoring a new member through the steps and dealing with life on life's terms. Please feel free to use this entire book or any part that you can to help the new member or sponsee recover and grow spiritually. If this book can increase your personal knowledge of how to pass the message effectively please, as Bill Wilson Said, "Pass it on."
