Step Twelve ~ Part 1: Questions

"Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholic and to practice these principles in all our affairs."

Some thoughts to ponder:

1. Why does Step 12 make it clear that we will have a *spiritual* awakening?

2. What was your first spiritual awareness?

3. "I find it interesting that the step says "had." This implies that my spiritual awakening was a one-shot deal, never to be repeated." What do you think about that statement? Do you agree, disagree?

4. What do you hope to experience when *you* spiritually awaken?
