12 Step Site Help

Welcome to 12steprecovery.com.

The words largest (we are hoping to become) interactive, user driven 12 step online community. I’m Jon M [escalatoraccident] and I’m one of the webmasters for this site. I wanted to take some time to create a help center for all the 12 Step Recovery users and guests. This 12 step help center will be the place where you can find everything you need to know about the site and how to use it. This is important because this is YOUR 12 Step Recovery site. The other admin (Shoutout to Ann P!) and I work to create it and keep it running smoothly, but it’s yours. It’s up to you guys/girls in the recovery community or you guys/girls just supporting your friends or family in recovery to get online and create the fellowship needed for a successful 12 step online community!

We get alot of questions about 12 Step Recovery. Questions like "How and Why should I join?" and "How do I use this feature or that feature?" So we decided to throw this 12 Step Recovery Help center together. These are some of our top questions right now, so if you have other questions, don't be shy, let us know and we'll do our best to answer all of them.

General Site Questions

What is Karma


NA - How it Works


If you want what we have to offer, and are willing to make the effort to get it, then you are ready to take certain steps. These are the principles that made our recovery possible.

  1. We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable.
  2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
  3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
  4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

AA - How It Works

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty. Their chances are less than average.

Creating a resource page is not as easy as one might think. I have chosen to link only to sites that offer 12 step information on 12 step programs or 12 step alternative programs, non-profit programs, research sites that specialize in addiction treatment or directories that are free or very low cost that help the public find drug rehab programs.  However, you may register and put a link to your site or post in the forum and put a link to your site.
