AA Agnostica A Collection of Alternative 12 Steps
AA Agnostica A Collection of Alternative 12 steps Page | 2 Introduction There are many versions of the 12 steps . In fact, there are about as many versions as there are alcoholics in AA who use the program to get sober and to maintain their sobriety. The founder of AA, Bill W, discovered early on that individuals and groups adapted the 12 steps as found in Alcoholics Anonymous and he encouraged and supported them. In 1957, Bill recounts that when AA was started in countries where Buddhism was the dominant religion, the new AA groups being formed there felt that in order to join AA they needed to replace the word God with good so that the practice of the Steps would be compatible with their non-theistic beliefs. After hearing about the changes to the Steps by these Buddhist AA groups, Bill wrote: To some of us, the idea of substituting good for God in the Twelve Steps will seem like a watering down of AA s message.
12 Steps, but are solely for the use of the group, based upon the conscience of its members. We are happy to present a fair sampling of versions of the Steps in this document, used and written by both individuals and groups.
