Recovery context
Recovery spiritual principles are connected with working the Twelve Steps, rather than an unrelated list of positive values. This independent TEF supplement uses a common AA-oriented teaching map, informed by the AA Cleveland article, with differences explicitly noted for OA. It is not conference-approved AA, NA or OA literature, and it does not imply endorsement or replace fellowship literature, sponsorship, treatment or medication. Several principles can support the same step. Discuss the language and pace with your own fellowship or sponsor. You may pass, write privately or use the fictional examples. Do not put identifying recovery histories in this public workbook. These lessons describe step themes in original words; they do not reproduce the official steps.
