STEP 1
We admitted we were
powerless over alcohol - that
our lives had become
unmanageable.
STEP 2
Came to believe that a Power
greater than ourselves could
restore us to sanity
STEP 3
Made a decision to turn our
will and our lives over to the
care of God as we understood
Him.
STEP 4
Made a searching and fearless
moral inventory of ourselves.
STEP 5
Admitted to God, to ourselves,
and to another human being
the exact nature of our wrongs.
STEP 6
Were entirely ready to have
God remove all these defects
of character.
STEP 7
Humbly asked Him to remove
our shortcomings.
STEP 8
Made a list of all persons we
had harmed, and became
willing to make amends to
them all.
STEP 9
Made direct amends to such
people wherever possible,
except when to do so would
injure them or others.
STEP 10
Continued to take personal
inventory and when we were
wrong promptly admitted it.
STEP 11
Sought through prayer and
meditation to improve our
conscious contact with God as
we understood Him, praying
only for knowledge of
His will for us and the power
to carry that out.
STEP 12
Having had a spiritual
awakening as the result of
these steps, we tried to
carry this message to
alcoholics, and to practice
these principles in all
our affairs.

I had the privilege of knowing him well. He spent time with me, explaining this path. I went to his funeral. I worked with him. He loved me and saw the real me. A very spiritual man.
Are there any resources, books, etc that you have that he shared with you (especially regarding meditation amd also inventory). I wish I could have met Mark, but it's great that we have his audio recordings and people like you who learned first hand from him.
Did you know Dave F? He and Mark did a Fellowship of The Spirit in New York in 2001. I would like to meet him. I am sad to know I will not be able to meet Mark. I am very glad that we have his recordings.
1 minute into it and I'm like WOOOOOW YEEEEEEEES!
Oh my Lord
God bless you Mark Houston and Alcoholics Anonymous and all of us ❤
This man is amazing! Spot on!!
Thank you Mark
Thanks Mark for all your wisdom
Mark H was a great AA example. Rest in peace Mark.
Mark David Houston , died suddenly on February 19, 2010. He was 63. Mark was born in Iowa on October 14, 1946.
Mark Houston's famous sayings is, "I need one of two things - a lot of God, or a lot of Alcohol..." At 10 years sober in AA, Mark found himself suicidal.
Dissatisfied with the message he was hearing in local meetings, he started his own small AA group and committed to the Big Book's instructions line-by-line, and with continued work found his connection with his Higher Power.
He was huge on mediation practice. Another of his instructive sayings was, "I don't care about your OPINIONS - tell me what your direct EXPERIENCE is ..."

To know God you must be OUT OF YOUR MIND! I remember the first time I heard this.
Priceless quote
I also relapsed a few years back at 10 years of sobriety and I did not meditate then. I meditate every day today and only today matters and my sanity has never been better. You can't stop the voices but you can develop selective listening by meditation.

Them voices the ego has always plagued me made me very sick every morning has to start in prayer and meditation
Most alcoholics are also sex addicts - few will ever admit it. But take people through a 4th and 5th step and you will see it.
