	in writing Step Four
	in writing Step Six “list”
	in writing Step Eight “list” and our “plans and “heat factor”
	in writing Step Ten “when we retire at night”
	in writing ... letters, journalizing ...

“MAGIC” happens: when we learn to hear:

	by learning to listen ... with undivided attention
	by listening at meetings
	by listening to the new members
	by listening to the older members
	by listening to the “middle” members
	by listening to tapes
	by listening, when ONE alcoholic shares with ANother alcoholic
	by listening to a Step One and Two review
	by listening to a Third Step Decision
	by listening to a Fifth Step
	by listening to a review of Step 6
	by listening to Step Seven

“MAGIC” happens: when we learn to “see”:

	see the similarities amongst ourselves (rather than the differences)
	see others “catch fire” with this PROCESS and recover
	see the Changes Wrought in others
	see our own life’s “manifestations” change
	see that this process REALLY WORKS!

“MAGIC” happens: when we DO the ACTION:

	when we DO the Steps - ALL of them
	when we DO get a sponsor and commit to that relationship
	when we become an ACTIVE member of the Group
	when we ACTIVELY try to help others, especially alcoholics
	when we ACTIVELY try to RECEIVE and DO God’s Thinking
