The study also investigates the dynamic of the personal will interfacing with the will of a perceived higher power. The research context is within the paradigm of Alcoholics Anonymous self-help groups and their 12-step program. Most research in this field is related to predicting or measuring outcome of treatment in 12-step facilities and understanding the motivation for treatment among individuals with Substance Use Disorder. Few studies are found on the subject of the lived experience of the personal will prior to recovery, during recovery and into late recovery in the context of AA and the 12-step program. Twelve-step groups are available worldwide, in some countries it is the only type of free self-help group available within which recovery processes take place. There is a need for an enhanced understanding of the psychological mechanisms involved with the dynamics of the personal will in the process of recovery in the field of 12-step facilitation and in the field of addiction treatment generally. I chose qualitative research methods and the data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The participants were eight active members of AA with a sobriety time range of 2-17 years, with a mean length of 7.4 years. The analysis and description of the data were conducted using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The results reveal the Will Complex in Substance Dependence (WCSD) of the addicted personality as multilayered, compensatory selves of destructive intents that correspond to the undifferentiated term ‘self-will’ in the AA literature. In the continuum of recovery, the participants unanimously name the appearance of a qualitatively different and constructive aspect of the personal will emerging into conscious awareness at the point of ‘hitting bottom’, as an authentic intent or Core Will. These aspects of the personal will are described in all eight cases to exist in parallel, constituting internal conflict negotiated until the point of surrender to a perceived higher power. From the point of surrender, the core 3 will is described to be in correspondence with the experienced higher will, whilst the aspects of the will WCSD recede or withdraw. The dynamics of the will are concomitant with a shift in belief system and consequently in intents. These paradoxical findings are discussed and interpreted through the theoretical lens of transpersonal psychology. Building on existing knowledge, this study can contribute to deciphering the psychological mechanisms behind the fluctuations of the personal will of substance-dependent individuals in treatment, which in turn can be used to enhance therapeutic interventions in the treatment of Substance Use Disorder. Suggestions for future research include a focus on further exploration into the proposed dynamic and the therapeutic effect of increased consciousness of one’s internal dynamics and their effect on choice alternatives. The conditions leading to the emergence of the ‘core will’ might also be explored to understand how we can facilitate the development of this will aspect to achieve constructive intentionality. The clinical significance of the study is potentially broad as the underlying psychological dynamic of the will of the substance-addicted individual can be incorporated into a variety of treatment approaches from different philosophical standings. This study is also significant and a helpful tool for psychotherapists working in rehabilitation facilities or in private practice with substance-dependent clients. For transpersonal psychotherapists this investigation will offer new knowledge, theory and competence to the complex field of Substance Use Disorder treatment. 4 List of tables and figures Table 1 – The 12-steps Table 2 – Will references in the Big Book Table 3 - Will connotations in the 12-steps Table 4 – Example of emerging themes in transcript Table 5 – Findings table Table 6 – Pilot project and participants feedback Table 7 – Pilot project and co-therapists feedback Figure 1 – Will Diagram Keywords Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, Alcoholics Anonymous, Addiction, Subjective Will, Will Dynamics, Surrender, Higher Power, Recovery 5 Table of Contents Summary Plan ....................................................................................................................... 2 Abstract ................................................................................................................................... 3 List of tables and figures ...................................................................................................... 5 Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 10 Chapter 1 Literature Review .............................................................................................. 13 1.1 Literature Review – introduction ................................................................................. 13 1.2 Alcoholics Anonymous ................................................................................................. 15 1.2.1 AA background and function................................................................................ 15 1.2.2 Research on AA 12-step attendance and outcome .............................................. 16 1.2.3 Spirituality versus religiousness ............................................................................ 19 1.2.4 Spiritual emphasis in AA ....................................................................................... 20 1.2.5 Change mechanisms in AA .................................................................................... 23 1.3 Surrender ..................................................................................................................... 27 1.3.1 The phenomenon of surrender ............................................................................

Follow me! I want to show you something.” “What is it?” Sam asked warily. She had seen the twinkle in his eyes and suspected they were in for a joke. “You’ll see,” he grinned. “Just follow me!” He led the foursome through his front door, made an immediate right turn, and headed for his neighbor’s house, that of Bernard and Mary Beth Massey.

With popular hits of its time becoming less familiar, and newer favorites missing, a new compilation was in order. Our songbook nonetheless provided an excellent foundation upon which to build. We would be remiss not to credit Matt Cohen, Polly Hall, and Dan Yolles for their work, which remains the single largest contribution to the current edition. Deepest thanks to those that contributed their time and feedback to this collection. Brynn Tully, Amy Stein Miller, Amalia Ritter, Dan Yolles, and Debra Winter put thought and spirit into the production of this book, including meticulous chord notation. It must be said that this songbook is “Tam v’lo nishlam,” finished, but not yet complete. Brynn and Carly will be tasked with implementing this collection over the course of Summer 2018 with the goal of producing a final edition after integrating feedback from our Ranch Camp Kehila.

  • Educating Andrew
    EDUCATING ANDREW A PROMISE FULFILLED by Virginia Lanier Biasotto © 2006 by Virginia Biasatto All rights reserved. DEDICATION In the spring of 2003, my mother and I were sitting on her porch reminiscing about Andrew. Her questions awakened memories about the past, and I retold stories about the journey to find the solution for his inability to read. In spite of some short-term memory issues, she hung onto every word. When I was finished, she said, “You must write these stories down.” I was glad that she thought them interesting, but life’s pressures didn’t allow much time for writing. However, she was not to be dissuaded. I would get phone calls saying, “I know you are busy. But you must write those stories down.” One day it came to me that I had written them down. I wrote them down as they happened. I started to dig (I was never much at throwing things away) and low and behold I discovered a large yellowed envelope with the word “ANDREW” printed on it. Inside were a hundred or more typed pages. For a Christmas gift to my mother, I retyped them on the computer and presented them to her in book form. During her final years, she read the book about once a week. Guests in her home had to read it, too. She was very persuasive! It was her encouragement that led me to submit Educating Andrew for publication, and it is to her, Alice Darby Lanier, that I dedicate it. 2 CONTENTS Andrew ........................................................................................................................................ 6 Breakthrough .............................................................................................................................. 9 Connie ........................................................................................................................................

Long ago the maids drew water Ask what you will and it shall be done; In the evening time, they say Trust and obey, believe Him and say: One day Isaac sent his servant I believe, I believe God. To stop Rebekah on her way "My master sent me here to tell thee; And if you want salvation now See these jewels rich and rare; And the Holy Ghost and power, Would'st thou not his lovely bride be Just trust and obey, In that country over there?" Believe Him and say: I believe, I believe God. CHORUS It shall be light in the evening time, 2 The path to glory you will surely find; Reach Out, Touch The Lord Thru the water way, It is the light today, Key of F Buried in the precious Name of Jesus. Young and old, repent of all your sin, Reach out and touch the Lord The Holy Ghost will surely enter in; As He goes by, The evening Light has come, You'll find He's not too busy, It is a fact that God and Christ are one. To hear your heart's cry; He's passing by this moment, So, God's servants come to tell you Your needs to supply, Of a Bridegroom in the sky Reach out and touch the Lord Looking for a holy people As He goes by.
