Homing Device for the Inner Man

THE Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Steps are often referred to as the maintenance Steps. The first nine Steps give us a tremendous initial drive in the direction of sobriety, sanity, rebirth into a constructive, meaningful way of life. That initial drive, wonderful as it is, would be wasted if there were not available to us the means to sustain it, develop it, bring to it, one day at a time, a degree of permanence which neither any external circumstances of life nor any mood swings from within will destroy.
