Twelve Step Within format

ByMichael P.

Greater New York Metro Intergroup members have conceived an innovative workshop titled “Struggling? Pathways to Abstinence.” Its goal is “to provide a space where [one’s] experience with struggles to get abstinent may show up as a bridge back to living life in recovery.” It features not only a qualifier with recovery-from-relapse experience, but three panelists who also have that experience, as well as shares and questions for all those attending.

The qualification is delivered in sections. After each section, one of the panelists is given six minutes to respond to three questions that have been prepared by the moderator, based on that portion of the qualification. At the end of the qualification, participants may ask questions and share.

Workshop format.
“Dissection of the Struggle for Abstinence” is a document used during the workshop for the panel questions.
