Meeting SpotlightStep Study, Thurs. Nights 6:30 to 8:00 PM
Christ Lutheran Church, 6500 E. Stearns St., Long Beach, CA This is a unique Step Study meeting. We use three books consecutively: Overeaters Anonymous Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions (2nd Edition); Alcoholics Anonymous Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions; and Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book. In the Big Book, the readings are limited to those pages or paragraphs specifically relating to each of the twelve steps, one each week, with the exceptions of steps six/seven and eight/nine, which are combined because they are very short readings and closely related. The meeting is set up with tables in a rectangle. The reading begins with the leader and progresses around the tables, each person reading one paragraph until completion. At the end of the reading, the sharing begins with the next person in line and continues around the room until all have shared their experience regarding the step. Currently, the meeting is in its 13th round of completing all these books. Each round the attendees are given a syllabus showing the progression through the books. We have several members of the group who have been attending since the day the meeting began and have found that repeating the study of the steps is beneficial to their program. You are heartily encouraged to join us to further your recovery through an intensive step study.
