Step Study Meeting - Step 11

v1 .0.0.5

“In step eleven we learned the principle of spiritual awareness as we turned our
attention to the practices of prayer and meditation. We practice this principle by
seeking an awareness of God's presence in all our affairs, and by continuing to
nurture our spiritual sensitivity through prayer and meditation. ”
For many in recovery, whether it is Alcoholics Anonymous or Al-Anon Family
Groups, the concept of spirituality can be unfamiliar, lost or rejected. I f you seek
solace in a bottle or in bars, you may have other problems going such as a broken
relationship or crumbling marriage, a criminal history or generally, a life in turmoil.
Even for those who have had an upbringing in a church, you may find that your
experience was more "religious" and prescriptive rather than spiritual.
For most who are earnest in working the 1 2 steps, by the time you arrive at step 1 1
you may discover a measure of spirituality at work in your life. For many AA
members, they say they have discovered their higher power and form a better
understanding of that power.

The Step meetings are organized by month and for the first three weeks, we do a different section of the current step until it is complete.

For the Fourth we will have a business/group conscious meeting and a Discussion meeting, a topic meeting or a Speaker meeting. When it occurs, on the Fifth week we will have a discussion, topic or speaker meeting.

This month we are working on Step 11.
