Introduction
The year 1934 saw the birth of the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. A few years later A.A.'s founders, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith, wrote the Twelve Steps, which offer simple, straightforward guidance to men and women hoping to lead sober lives. Although the founders were careful to say that the Twelve Steps were only suggestions for livingnot requirements for membership in A.A.for over fifty years, these Steps have guided millions, helping them live lives of hope rather than lives of quiet desperation.
As guides to recovery, the Steps help us accept our power-lessness over alcohol and drugs. They stress the necessity for honesty about the past as well as the present. And they encourage us to embrace the concept of a Power greater than ourselves to handle the haunting stresses of daily living. When lived well, the Steps promise miraculous changes in our perspectives and our entire lives.
