12th Step Tips – “Each One, Reach One”

Reach Out To Individuals
We all know someone who needs help. Reach out to them just as Christ would. These tips will help you get started.

  • Ask God to lead you to those who are in need of help or direction in recovery. Pray that He will give you the right words of hope and encouragement for these people.
  • People in need of recovery need something tangible. Hand those in need of help a handout (CIR brochure, inspirational cards, Bible Guide Card, ruler, etc.)
  • Be a good listener. Let them do the talking and tell you their needs first. Then you will be better equipped to help them. Talking over a cup of coffee or while taking a walk is helpful.
