On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re revisiting an extremely relevant inquiry: Are the 12 Steps still relevant today, how do they fit into modern recovery, and why did I adapt the 12 Steps into the 12 Efforts?

Of course, when we explore these questions, we will need to discuss the challenges that come up with language and the power of words. Do people in recovery always have to refer to themselves as addicts or should that identification change?

In a way, this exploration is fundamental to all who are on the path of recovery. We need to know what works, why it works, and how it can work better. We must always strive to honor the past, but we must also innovate and improve upon what is there to create an even brighter future.

Tommy Discusses:

How language gets in the way of our growth
The ties between yoga and the 12 Steps
How to embrace your past and overcome resentments
Why he created the 12 Efforts
Readying yourself to be of service to other people
Why he is proud to be a part of “The Island of Misfit Toys”
