This episode is a continuation of the last part of step number 12, “practice these principles in all our affairs”. This phrase makes a lot of assumptions. It assumes that we have done the 12 steps to the best of our ability, and that we are ready and willing to incorporate them into our way of life. One could really say that this is the basis of the 12 step program, helping ourselves by helping others. God has made available, all of the strength and power that we could possibly need. It is now our God-directed mission the use this “course of action” to keep ourselves humanly well and to grow in our Spirit. This allows us to develop our compassion and empathy and as a result to do what we can in order to help our fellow human beings.
