About this episode

Fr. Bill reviews the 12-Steps in light of three key concepts: CONNECTION, CORRECTION, and DIRECTION for a simpler understanding of recovery.

Dr. Bob begged Bill Wilson to “keep it simple.” In that same spirit, the Oxford Group often compacted their program of change down to three short words: CONNECTION – CORRECTION – DIRECTION . In this bonus episode Fr. Bill reviews the 12-Steps in light of these, giving listeners a simpler understanding of the “change” we need to undergo for recovery. Show notes: Jean Brown pamphlet
