In the rooms of 12-Step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon, we hear the words “God as we understand him”. We hear the term “Higher Power”. We hear that the program is spiritual, not religious. We recite the Serenity Prayer. We share our experience, strength and hope.

12-Step programs have been criticized as being heavily Christian. Do 12-Step programs have anything to offer Unitarian Universalists? Do 12-Step programs work in helping individuals deal with addictions or helping individuals learn to live with friends and family

members who suffer from addictions? Join us as we explore spirituality from a 12-Step perspective and how there can be hope for everyone who is in recovery of any sort, striving to become our best selves.
