Finding Spirituality Within
People in recovery who are successfully working the Twelve Steps know that AA is a spiritual program. At first some people in search of sobriety in recovery are turned off when they are told spirituality is the very foundation of AA and the Twelve Steps. Spirituality is often equated with religion, but spirituality is more than that and goes deeper; it is the foundation for a religious tradition. Religion, according to Webster, is “the acknowledgment of a Divine Being and a systematic manifestation in worship, ritual and conduct.”
