13th step
Stephen L asked:


Lately there is a lot of 13 Stepping going on in my meetings…mostly newcommers (girls) are been picked up by dudes in recovery… There is a nasty vibe going round and many newcomers dont return once they have been 13th Stepped.

What can I do about it? Is there something I can do? Or should I just ignore it???

13th step
brucestringbean asked:


Can’t I just skip most of the steps and work the 13th one. A lot of these young new vulnerable girls look like they need me to practice the 13th step and show them what it’s all about so they can do the same in the future

The 13th Step Promises

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by admin on 23-09-2008

If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.

  • We are going to meet a newcomer and find a new happiness.
  • We will regret that incident and wish to shut the door on her.
  • We will comprehend the word insanity and we will know this was a mistake.
  • No matter how far down she has gone, we will see how our experience benefitted ourselves.
  • That feeling of loneliness and hornyness will disappear.
  • We will lose interest in the program and gain interest in newcomers.
  • Self-pleasuring will slip away.
  • Our whole attitude and outlook upon women will change.
  • Fear of oldtimers and of crazy newcomers will increase.
  • We will intuitively know how to handle that chick.
  • We will suddenly realize that God has presented an oppourtunity to tap that.
  • Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us—sometimes quickly (most of us), sometimes slowly (some of us). They will always materialize if we work for them.

    • These are the 13th step promises and our God given right but be careful! You don’t want that fresh on the wagon necomer showing up at your door with a pushed out stomach screaming your the daddy. Remember to wrap it up.
