THEN I TRIED AA HANDLING TWELFTH STEP CALLS

Why is AA supreme in rehabilitating alcoholics, when so many

other methods fail? For fifteen years I struggled to learn how to

drink liquor without getting into trouble, and I failed...but now I

know several reasons in answer to that question. Fifteen years

ago, I knew I had an alcoholic problem. I did not actually accept

the fact, but knew that something should be done about it. My

wife and relations, my boss, the neighbors—all were becoming

standoffish. Occasionally they flared up over my repeated

benders and binges, making my life more miserable with

nagging, scolding and the silent treatment. Something should be

done, all right. But what? I tried the wagon. After about four

weeks of sobriety, I could not eliminate the unbearable

obsession to drink from my mind so I tried another solution—

talking with a minister. He was very kind and understanding,

and suggested that it might help if I joined his church and “got in

with the right-thinking and right-living people.” He prayed for

me and with me, and I left assured. I joined the church and even

was baptized. The treatment worked—for two whole months.

Then came the worst drunk I had ever been on, more trouble

than I had ever been in, and I ended up in jail this time. I left the

church in disgrace, feeling more like a sinner and failure than

ever before. I tried another treatment—consulting the doctors.

They helped me get off drunks and gave me repeated warnings

to stop drinking and to get off to the simple fact that I couldn’t

drink. The result? I lost confidence in the doctors and myself—

and found myself in the alcoholic wards of hospitals three

additional times. Next, I managed to swing the price of a

psychiatrist. Every day for sixteen straight months I went to him

for analysis. He delved into my past and found out a great many

very interesting things. But help me out of my alcoholic

problem? When I left him I was in a huff, feeling like a mental

case, wishing I was one, and I was drunk. Three methods tried,

three methods failed. Hopelessly I progressed alcoholically right

down the line…..three years of disaster drinking, flop-houses,

failure even at holding down a dishwashing job. My wife left me

in desperation seven different times. I lost houses full of

furniture three different times. Steadily, I lost confidence, faith

and hope. Then I tried AA. Even there I floundered for a while,

but then I got the drift and stayed sober. And now I know why

AA made my life manageable when every other method failed!

Why couldn’t even my family, the clergy and the doctors help,

even though they tried very hard? I believe that they actually did

not know how to accomplish the result they sought so hard. My

family could help me in everyday matters. A clergyman could

help me solve my religious problems. The doctors and

psychiatrists could treat my physical and mental ills. But none of

them was equipped to help the alcoholic when needed, because

they lacked the studied knowledge of the many-sided alcoholic

problem, which cuts across so many fields. This is by no means

any fault of theirs—but they simply in most cases have not been

trained to understand the many and complex

“Put yourself in the other person’s shoes”, is a good rule to

follow whenever you receive a Twelfth Step call Remember that

only complete and utter despair and desperation drives a

“candidate” to that final act of surrender—a call to the A.A.

Central Office. It’s a cry for help from a sick, frightened human

being who has run out of hiding places. How quickly anyone of

us responds to this cry could be a matter of life or death. If this

sounds over dramatized, it’s only to impress on each and

everyone one of us the urgency of fulfilling our obligation and

responsibility in carrying the message of sobriety and hope to

the alcoholic who still suffers. The whole purpose (besides

keeping us sober) when making a Twelfth Step call, is to

acquaint the “candidate” with the program of Alcoholics

Anonymous. By your own example and by what you say, you

can instill the hope that he or she can learn how to get along

without drinking and that we have found a way to stay sober.

Because no two people you call on will be in the same state

physically, emotionally and mentally, sometimes you will have

to “play it by ear.” There are no set rules to follow but there are

some general ones. We will try and list a few that we think will

help you.

SOME SUGGESTED GUIDELINES

*Tell the person about the program; that it leads to a

comfortable, happy way to live without drinking.*Tell him or her

about the 12 Steps—usually their logic makes a deep impression.

*In many cases it has been found helpful to explain the

physical allergy to alcohol (the phenomenon of craving); that

something went “haywire” with his body chemistry and that he

can no longer tolerate alcohol because it sets up a chemical

reaction within the body that he/she cannot control, and for this

reason we have to stay away from that first drink.*Take a Big

Book along and offer to let them borrow it for a time, but keep in

mind that some people learn by listening rather than by reading

and don’t be disappointed if he doesn’t ask to read the book right

away it might be a good idea to make a few calls before taking

your “prospect” to their first meeting, but if they are sober and

eager it might be good to take them sooner. Again, you will have

to play it by ear. *Remember, it was a big step to make the initial

call for help, and now that he has made it, he wants to get going.

*Mention anonymity...that it is the spiritual foundation of the

program, that his name will go no further than within his own

Group and the members will respect his anonymity.

*If the spouse shows interest, one of the two people making the

call should talk to them and explain about the closed meetings

and also that they are welcome to attend open meetings and/or

Al-Anon. Don’t force this.*It is not a good idea to hand out

money. In Chapter 7 the Big Book says, “The men who cry for

money and shelter before conquering alcohol, are on the wrong

track.” Let your good judgment govern. *On a 12th Step call

we try to “carry the message,” which simply means that we try to

help a fellow alcoholic on the Go to Page 3 Go to Page 3

factors involved in the treatment and rehabilitation of alcoholics.

And the vast majority can find no time to give special study to

the alcoholic disease along with all the other things they must do

to keep up with their regular professional life. The real specialist

in the field of alcoholic recovery is the AA member who himself

has been successfully rehabilitated through the love, service,

honest sympathetic understanding, personal help and guidance of

another AA member. He knows the treatment —the personal

help of other members, the Twelve Suggested Steps, the slogans,

the open and closed meetings all devised especially for

alcoholics. These specialized techniques have proved successful

in case after case. When one AA member carries his message of

recovery to another sick alcoholic, there is no need to wonder

why AA has experienced the tremendous success that it has. J.F., Dobbs Ferry, NY/

Reprint Permission/AA Grapevine/1954

Central Office provides a number of services acting as a

clearing house for the convenience of members and groups,

provides phone service for twelfth step calls and other inquires,

helps with the coordination of group activities and keeps track

of meeting times and changes and the printing of the schedules.

We also edit and print our monthly newsletter. In addition we

sell all Alcoholics Anonymous General Service Conference

Approved Literature and some other materials requested by our

AA members. Thanks to everyone for your continued support!!

road to sobriety by showing him or her the way...taking them

to meetings….keeping in personal touch. In other words, we

lend a helping hand until they are able to stand up for their self.

This is a most rewarding expenditure of a little time and effort

on our part. *Remember, we are not doctors. No matter how

well meaning, we should never give any medication……….If

a new-comer’s general appearance and actions seem to indicate

that all is not well physically, we should make every attempt to

get qualified medical help. If you want to prescribe something,

we suggest that it be liberal doses of the Big Book, meetings

and A.A. Fellowship. *How do you handle the alcoholic who

is “rip-roaring drunk”? Again, this is a “play it by ear”

situation. This is one of those questions that definitely should

be discussed at your meetings on a regular basis. Much

depends on the demeanor of the person calling. Are they

in danger of hurting their self, what kind of mood are they in,

are they just looking for someone to talk to with no real

intention of wanting to sober up, are they angry and demanding

that Alcoholics Anonymous fix them right now…...the list can

go on. We can only say that we must try to help them, even if

it’s only a phone call telling them to call back after their spree.

At least someone from A.A. has made an attempt. Remember,

A.A. is for those who want it. “If you have decided that you

want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get

it,” as our Big Book says. Tradition 5 states that “Each

Alcoholics Anonymous group ought to be a spiritual entity

having but one primary purpose—that of carrying its message

to the alcoholic who still suffers. This is the Central Office’s

primary role: “to carry the message.” We do that by trying to

provide ways and means for the alcoholic to get to an A.A.

meeting and/or A.A. members to get to the alcoholic. Thus

comes our Twelfth Step work. In order for us to stay sober and

maintain our own sobriety, we must carry the message to

others. But how do you, as an AA member do this most vital

function? Make sure Central Office has your correct phone

number and address. A suffering alcoholic’s life could depend

on this communication. It is usually considered good

practice to have at least two members make the call, possibly

one older and one newer member. At least one woman should

be along during calls on female prospects, if it all possible.

AA members might also be matched up with the prospect as

to age or related occupation. Everything helps when trying to

establish an area of Fellowship in addition to the common

bond of alcoholism. Quite often a new prospect is not

entirely convinced of the need for A.A. and anything which

assists in overcoming the “you don’t understand my problem”

attitude can be very helpful. We have found it very helpful

for members to read Chapter Seven of the Big Book just prior

to making a Twelfth Step call so they are aware of it’s

suggestions for them. Bring to the meeting tables discussions

on Twelfth Step work. How to do it, why we do it, etc.

The more discussion on Twelfth Step work, the

better everyone will be prepared when it actually

happens. And it will happen!!!
