This is just for me

I "do" the steps verbatim out of the Big Book

Precisely how we have recovered is how I do it.

the big book actually has step by step instructions in it, if you break it down, no pun intended

I read the book with my sponsee working the step as we come to it. I read the 12 and twelve with my sponsee as well to assist with the step in conjunction with the big book, but I feel it's there to augment the big book, not replace it.

Steps one and two are pages prefaces to page 60 at C God could and would if he were sought, One is on page 30, I don't remember where I point out step two off the top off my head, I do that piecemeal

Came
came to
came to believe
Power greater then yourself (can be group, any power "greater then yourself)
restore to sanity (admit insanity)

step 3 page 60 being convinced to "next" on the bottom of page 63
step four "next" to page 71
step five 72 to 75
six starts at "returning home" on 75
seven when ready on 76 to "we have then completed step seven
eight and nine Now on 76 to this thought on 84
ten this thought to "step eleven" on 85
eleven through page 88
chapter seven is twelve

I finish reading the book with my sponsee

the instructions are clear and concise, I left some stuff out, fill that in with your own experience strength and hope, and welcome to being rocketed to the fourth dimension, which is what happened for me when I started sponsoring.

I just dashed this off off the top of my head, so please feel free to correct me if I am wrong or left anything out guys
