Assignment 2 – Orientation Continued 

1. Over the next four weeks: 

a. Read and highlight (always highlight when reading, even if not indicated in the instructions), from the Title page up through page xxiv (up to “The Doctor’s Opinion”) with these questions under consideration. Do not answer them – ASK them. 

• Is this Twelve Step process what I really want to do at this time in my journey? 
• Why do I want to submit to this process at this time? iii. At this time am I willing to go to any lengths? What does this mean?
• In what areas of my life am I being dishonest with myself and others? 

b. After you finish the reading assignment – take your time – write out your answer to each of the consideration questions – no less than one sentence, no more than one page per question. Understand: Practice of Meditation – Step Eleven 

2. Look up “prayer”, “meditation”, and “contemplation” in the dictionary, and perhaps in more than one dictionary, and write out the definitions. 

3. Read and highlight Big Book instructions on Step Eleven Prayer and Meditation - pages 85-88. Understand: “Not cured”; “Daily reprieve”; “Spot Check inventory” – Step Ten

Assignment 1 – Orientation 

1. Orientation and Understanding of “Our Way of Life”: Steps 10, 11, and 12 

2. Understand: “Spiritual Experience” and “Spiritual Awakening” – Step Twelve 

3. Read Big Book Appendix II, “Spiritual Experience,” pages 567-568. What is it? How does it differ from a Spiritual Awakening? How is it the same? 

4. From the Big Book’s Title page, look up the word “Anonymous” and write out a definition.

Assignment 1 – Orientation Orientation and Understanding of “Our Way of Life” (do you have the free .pdf?): Steps 10, 11, and 12 

1. Obtain a new Alcoholics Anonymous book, Fourth Edition (unless your current Fourth Edition book has no writing/highlighting: then it’s OK). 

2. Create and pray a “Set Aside Prayer”: 

a. As part of your daily morning prayer and meditation practice 

b. Every time before you begin doing any part of the workshop assignments. 

Example: God, please set aside everything I think I know about myself, my brokenness, the 12 Steps and You, for an open mind and a new experience of myself, my brokenness, the 12 Steps and especially You.
