Steps and before the newcomer has chance to get a book and read it where the
steps are concerned, the Key to them hearing the Message First is (imo)
really the "How & What" of AA. Must I remind you of Step 12??? (the "how"
of sharing our stories with other alcoholics and the "what" of AA
....Step12...That's what the program for those who are working it is all
about.

why the need for a dividing line?
would I be wrong in saying that AA is a "fellowship prorgram based on 12
steps?
and the two can work as "one" for the good of all, can't it? (for those that
want it, that is....)
