OUR MISSION Our primary purpose in this WORKBOOK is to offer additional tools, which could enable you to practice these principles in all your affairs.

8 We will introduce you to this set of useful tools; however, tools are worthless unless we learn how to use them and then use them. Well that's what this little WORKBOOK is about. Our main focus will be learning new ways to expand our application of the program. To help you awaken to the power- ful spiritual principles embodied in the TWELVE Steps (Recovery), TWELVE Traditions (Unity) and TWELVE Concepts for World Service (Service). The main focus of Book One will be on the TWELVE Steps. Awakening we believe is the correct word because it does happen as the result of applying the spiritual principles. We want to dispel the illusion that we are to impose an understanding by applying the principles found in our program. When in fact we use information and understanding to help chip away all that is not our God- created self to help us open up and realize our Spiritual Gifts, which is our true nature.

9 POWER Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a Power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves. Obviously. But where and how 1st Spiritual Gift were we to find this Power? Well, that's exactly what this book is about. Its main ob- ject is to enable you to find a Power greater than yourself which will solve your prob- lem. (Alcoholics Anonymous page 45 reprinted with permission) The main object of this WORKBOOK is to be in concert with that. Working the first eleven Steps will assure us of having a personality change, a shift in our perception sufficient to cause a spiritual awakening. Step TWELVE opens with: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps This spiritual awakening, this Gift, is the first of our three primary goals of this WORKBOOK . LOVE One of the most common human needs is love. The second part of Step TWELVE is.

10 We tried to carry this message. This is sharing; this is Love. We give but little 2nd Spiritual Gift when we give of our possessions, it is when we give of ourselves that we truly give. In the act of giving, passing it on , what we have received, we realize that giving and receiving are the same? In fact, the only way we can become a Master Receiver is to share with others everything we want for ourselves. We can love because our deepest nature is love. The messenger is the message. HEART'S DESIRE Awakening to the individual self we were created to be with purpose and meaning, in other words, to consciously live our Heart's Desire, God's Will for each individual. 3rd Spiritual Gift The third part of Step TWELVE is: and to practice these principles in all our affairs.. The only way we can fully realize who we are is to share what we currently are as the result of this process. When we are God-centered even for a moment we will have all the power and wisdom we need.
