The Twelve Steps

These steps help us change. They start by helping us come out of denial. They then suggest we reach out for help. Next they encourage us to include God in the group of those who can help us. Next is our list of what needs to be changed about ourselves. We next need to confess and cleanse our soul. Again we must take action, become willings, and ask for help. Making amends reduces our guilt about the pass. The last three steps are for maintaining what we have gained.

The Twelve Steps also help us increase our self-esteem and self-confidence. Finally, step twelves gives our life's purpose.

Helping others is easy. It may mean taking someone under your wing or being a good parent. It may mean giving advice or just listening. It may mean telling someone your story or helping them move. It may mean being a role model. It can be simple or complicated. It can be constant or occasional. Some people get into the helping professions and others just go visit a friend in the hospital. It doesn’t matter how you help others, only that you do it.
