12-step Meetings and Education was
created by one of the specialists for recovery of physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual effects for people who have problems getting help from their
families, friends, and support groups. This method is based on
psychotherapeutic help and mutual support offered by group members. Participants
in the program are united in 12-step addiction program.
The method has
been adapted for abuse against multiple types of substances and addictive
behaviors, from drug addiction to sex. The 12-step program involves recognizing
the lack of control over the addiction, recognizing the existence of a higher
power, examining past mistakes, and straighten them, learning a new behavior,
and helping those around who suffer from the same addiction. 12-step program is
being practiced in Stuart.
Specialists reinterpreted it in a human way by saying the main goal of human
salvation is his inner power for his and all the others happiness.
1. Be honest to
yourself! we recognize that we are powerless over our addictions and that means
losing control over our lives.
2. Have
faith! I have come to believe that there
is a higher power which has His seed inside me and that helps me to grow
healthy.
3. Disclaimer
phase. I made a decision to turn my lives into the hands of God as a divine
force.
4. Soul
searching. I looked at myself with courage and made a moral inner inventory.
5. The integrity
phase. I admitted I was on a wrong road and I realized the exact nature of my
wrongs.
6. I accept! I’m
entirely ready to accept God to direct my mistakes.
7. Humility
phase. I humbly ask God to correct my mistakes.
8. I will! I
made a list
of people who I have wronged before and I’m prepared to make it up to them.
9. Forgiveness
phase. I made mistakes with people, without thereby affecting the lives of
others.
10. Conservation
phase. I continued my personal inventory and I immediately recognized the
mistakes I’ve made.
11. Making inner
contact. Through meditation and prayer, I sought to improve my relationship
with God, praying only for us to know his will and to have the will power to
accomplish this.
12. Practicing a
new lifestyle. Following this revival of following due to these steps, I tried
to carry this message to other addicted people like me, also following these
precepts in my everyday life.
In Stuart, members of the groups that
participated in the 12-step therapy found that this method not only helped to
stop addiction or to be free of addiction, but also offered a guide to a new
lifestyle.
