It's Tim on Natholic, very glad to be here.

My date of sobriety is the 24th of July, 1993.

My home group is the, it's group in San Antonio called group 12, it's held at club 12 in San

Antonio and I attend the morning meetings there, which is lunchtime here.

There's a story behind that, maybe I'll tell the story, but that's my home group at the

moment.

I'm here to talk about step 12, but of course, of course, it says in step 12, having had a

spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, I'm going to need to talk about the other

11 steps or what I'm going to say about step 12, we're not making any sense.

There are also some people in the early days and it never hurts to explain what alcoholism

is because you never know what people know.

I myself was very confused about what alcoholism was for many years in AA.

It's not self-evident that someone who's been going to AA even for years has a clear idea

of what alcoholism is because there are so many different views expressed in AA meetings.

It's possible to hear the truth, but it's lost in so much other material.

One doesn't know one's heard it.
