In our final episode of the 12 step series, we tap into the power of pausing and listening. Why is this simple practice so difficult and yet very crucial to our recovery journey? Is a spiritual awakening even possible? Steps 11 and 12 state: (Step 11) “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” (Step 12) "Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs."

(Gorman's Overhead Projectors) In steps 8 & 9 we... “Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.” "Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others."

By this point in our 12 step series, we've admitted we're powerless, asked for the help from a higher power, and sorted through our stinky trash of toxic behaviors and misdeeds. Now comes the time to talk about it with those around us. On this week's episode, we cover step 5: "Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being, the exact nature of our wrongs."

Our sign-off to each episode is, "Never stop searching for questions" and to some, this may seem a bit odd. Isn't it supposed to be, "Never stop searching for answers?" On this episode, we talk about transitioning from a life of holding answers into a life of following questions and why this is a bridge to inclusivity, peace, and adventure.
