Twelve Steps for the 21st
Century
The
Twelve Steps converted to conventional, everyday, gender neutral
language, and edited for calrity and continuity.
-
We admitted we (had a
problem)--that our lives had become unmanageable.
-
Came to believe that a Power
greater than ourselves could (solve our problem).
-
Made a decision to turn our
will and our lives over to the care of (this Power).
-
Made a searching and fearless
. . . inventory of (our liabilities).
-
Admitted to . . . another
(person) the exact nature of our (liabilities).
-
Were entirely ready to have
(the Power) remove all (of our liabilities).
-
Humbly asked (the Power) to
remove our (liabilities and strengthen our assets).
-
Made a list of all persons we
had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
-
Made . . . amends to such
people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them
or others.
-
Continued to take personal
inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
-
Sought through prayer and
meditation to improve our conscious contact with (the Power
greater than ourselves).
-
Having had a spiritual
awakening as the result of these (Steps), we tried to carry this
message to (others) and to practice these (Steps in our daily)
affairs.

"Step takers, not meeting makers,
make it. Meeting makers make meetings. Step Takers make a difference."
- Wally P
Since the release of the Back to
Basics book in 1997, more than 700,000 have been through this "original"
Beginners' Meetings format from the 1940's that produced a 50-75%
recovery rate during the early days of the recovery movement. We are
seeing similar results today in the more than 7,000 meetings held each
week. Click here

Cliff
B. Article Titled, What has Happened . . . ?
Published 07/23/2004
Considered by many to be A.A.’s Wake-up
Call
“. . . The alcoholics who participated
in the writing of the “Big Book” didn't wait (to take the
steps). They took the Steps in the first few days following
their last drink. Thank God, there are those in our Fellowship,
like Joe and Charlie, Wally, etc., who have recognized the
problem and have started doing something about it. They are
placing the focus back on the “Big Book.”
Wally P. has no royalty arrangement with Back to Basics and receives NO income from any literature he
has published nor from CDs / DVDs he has produced. He insists that
this
is his Twelfth Step work for which he cannot be paid.

Mission Statement - Who
We Are
The Back to Basics Foundation is
dedicated to saving the lives of alcoholics, addicts and obsessive
compulsives by showing them the sheer
simplicity of the "original" program of recovery and by guiding them through the Twelve Steps
as they were taken by many of the pioneers in the 1940's. During this period of
time, the recovery rate from addiction was 50-75%. We are seeing similar
results today for those who are willing to remain
involved with the Back to Basics Beginners' meetings for three to six months.
We accomplish our objective by coordinating the recovery efforts of the numerous Back to
Basics Beginners' meetings and groups, answering questions as they arise
and following
up on Twelfth Step calls. We also conduct one day and weekend seminars based on
the Back to Basics, Back to the Basics of Recovery, and How To Listen To
God programs and distribute recovery literature and other materials on
the Beginners' meetings.
