How do you start step 12

I've been in and out of aa for a year with many breakthroughs as well as relapses. Someone who I have only recently become friends with has indicated to me on many occasions that his friend "Mike" is an alcoholic. His wife left him and he created a disturbance at her house that resulted in his going to jail. He does not seem to have a plan for life and spends his time drinking.

I have never approached someone about something like this.. To boot, this man is physically intimidating, close to 300 lbs some fat but much of it muscle. I mean im not saying im afraid of him but I sure would not want to see him ticked off.

I have been thinking that maybe a meeting list and telling him some of my story is the way to start, privately 1 on 1 ?

Ever see the picture called "Man on the Bed?"



See how there are two people talking with the man? Take someone with you, preferably someone who's got some solid sobriety.

Peace & Love,
