This paper relates to the Spirituality of Twelve Step Programs. The Twelve Steps are normally thought of as a spiritual and not a religious program. A brief history of the Twelve Steps as related to Alcoholics Anonymous with specific reference to Carl Jung is given. The author then relates the application of Twelve Steps to his own life.
