A Step Workin Guide---These guides are meant to be used by NA members at any stage of recovery. This story contains guides to working the Twelve Steps toward recovery; it does not contain recovery itself. Recovery is ultimately found in each member's personal experience with working the steps
There is probably only one inappropriate way to use these guides; "alone." We can't overemphasize the importance of working with a sponsor in working the steps. In fact, in our fellowship, a sponsor is considered, first and foremost, a guide through the Twelve Steps. If you haven't asked someone to sponsor you, please do so before beginning these guides.
Merely reading all the available information about any of the Twelve Steps will never bu sufficicent to bring about a true change in our lives and freedom from our disease. It's our goal to make the steps part of who we are. To do that, we have to work them. Hence, the " the Step Working Guides."
Like every piece of NA literature, this was written by addicts for addicts
