Happy Twelfth Step Within Day from sunny Tampa, Florida! This month we focus on the 12th step and the 12th tradition.
The 12th step states “Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to compulsive overeaters and to practice these principles in all our affairs.” The wording here is not accidental. THE result of these steps is a spiritual awakening. It’s not A result, not a casual byproduct, or a propitious happenstance, it is THE result of taking the 12 steps. Spiritual awakening is the goal of our work in recovery. The twelve steps do not promise weight loss, a perfect figure, better relationships, or even sanity around food, though these all can be side effects of our spiritual awakening. |
