“Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of working these Steps…” (Step 12)

Ask an outsider about the Steps,
they’ll talk of sobriety, abstinence,
cessation of addiction.
Ask an insider – someone who stayed —
that’s peripheral, a benefit. “The result”
is a daily walk with the power of the universe,
with serenity, with peace, with joy –
awakening to life!
