How Do I Work Step Twelve


 Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to compulsive overeaters and to practice these principles in all our affairs. ~ Step Twelve

I’m to try to carry this message
to Compulsive Overeaters.
How do I do that?
Do I look for obese people,
then tell them I can help them?
But I also need to practice
these principles in all my affairs.
I can go to them and tell them
I know how they can fix their obesity?
I can imagine someone saying that to me!
Would I have hit them? Maybe.
I would surely have wanted to!
So what else do I know?
The rest of the Step
says I practice  these principles
in all my affairs. Principles?
The 12 and 12 lists those…
one for each Step.
They are Honesty, Hope,
Faith, Courage, Integrity,
Willingness, Humility,
Self-discipline, Love,
Perseverance, Spiritual Awareness,
and Service. I need to remember
how I felt, I need to live happily,
be willing to tell what changed
if I’m asked, maybe just talk about me,
and let people connect the dots!
