Video Workshops
The Big Book of A.A. and the Twelve Steps
The Twelve Steps are not the twelve concepts or the twelve ideas. They are actions. They do not have any real effect on our lives unless we do them. The emphasis in these videos is entirely on doing the steps in the way they are described in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. We encourage you to take your time. It is best to work this program one Step at a time with the help of someone who has first-hand experience with the Twelve Step program. Our thanks to the staff of Plymouth House for their assistance in the preparation of these videos.

What do u have on to help a person on recovery from both Spritual & Alcohol abuse. I’m fm Sri Lanka
Mobile 94-777-519420
Thanks.awaiting fast response!
It is a difficult combination. My own instinct is that if addiction is an issue, it makes sense to deal with that first. So, I’d suggest getting to some A.A. meetings if you can. There’s a short list at:
http://www.aagsoindia.org/srilanka.htm
For the spiritual abuse side of things, you might also consider participating in the forum at http://www.spiritualabuse.com. There are several forum members there who have struggling with substance abuse in addition to spiritual abuse.
May your roots sink deeply in the soil of God’s love.
