Guides for Working the Twelve Steps

The Steps aren’t just something we read — they’re a way of life we practice and grow through. These guides were created to help both sponsors and sponsees deepen their connection to each of the Twelve Steps, grounding the work in action, reflection, and spiritual reliance.

Each guide explores what the Big Book describes as the necessary actions for real transformation. They’re not meant to replace sponsorship — they’re meant to strengthen it. Whether you’re walking someone through the Steps or taking them yourself with your sponsor, use these tools to open a deeper understanding and keep growing in faith and freedom.

Note: These materials are based on personal recovery experience and are not conference-approved literature. Always work with a sponsor when taking the Steps.
