A way of living
From pages 84-88 of the AA Big Book.

So fear isn't a problem for you?
Denial ... and weasel words.

Practice: Doing Steps 10, 11, and 12
What our experience has taught us about working these Steps.

Fear
For members like us who have realized we need to practice Steps 10 and 11 constantly, the first problem that must be dealt with - over and over - is fear.

Memory and imagination
For us, memory and imagination can be excellent servants. They can also be terrible masters.

We only have three problems
And yet we think we have so many ....

Doing Step 10 before Step 11
Why prayer and meditation tend to be less effective if we haven't dealt with our feelings.

What happened to Step 12?
Why do we say so little about Step 12? Isn't Step 12 what Program is all about?

Community: Why do we suggest practicing one-on-one or in small private groups?
When we do Step 10 with other people, why don't we do it in a 12-Step meeting?
