There is a spiritual wisdom within the 12 Step program that is simple, wholistic and life-giving. Everyone can find their way no matter what their particular understanding of spirit or one’s higher power. As the Big Book says: “The Realm of Spirit is broad, roomy, all inclusive.” Each step contain an underlying wisdom that speaks to human experience and what is required in the program: surrender, being open to mystery, self-reflection and awareness, willingness to be changed and make amends, fellowship, forgiveness, spiritual practices and sharing the message.
