The 12 Steps to Recovery

People who have embraced the twelve step to recovery have found that it not only provides them the means to stop drinking, using illegal substances or even helped them to look at their behaviors even if they never used drugs. The 12 Steps offers people a structural framework by which to live a productive and fulfilling life.

The 12 steps originated from Alcoholic Anonymous by the AA founders Bill Wilson and

Bob Smith they also used those same 12 steps for substance abuses , as an advocate for Parental substance abuse I learned that I may not be an recovering  addict from substance or alcohol . These 12 steps can be applied to every ones lives. 

12 steps are applicable for all aspects of our lives.

Many members of 12-step recovery programs² have found that these steps were not merely a way to overcome addiction and unwarranted behaviors, but they became a guide toward a new way of life. Now who doesn’t want to live a new way of life. 

The Twelve Steps themselves are the essence of Alcoholics and substance abuse Anonymous. But now I am asking those who are not addicted to incorporate the twelve steps as well. They are the directions meant to provide people with a path to lasting sobriety and a substance-free lifestyle and also to living a better life style. I want us to also incorporate these 12 steps in our self-care lives some of may not be addicted to substances or alcohol, but we are surely addicted to putting others first before us. We have other addictions and that’s why others programs are incorporating these 12 steps in their facilities and programs.

By exploring the steps in depth and seeing how others have applied the principles in their lives, you can use them to gain insight into your own experiences, and to gain strength and hope for your own recovery.
