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/

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!!!
