Recovery Word Search
A recovery word search holds the words heard in the rooms of recovery: sobriety, the meeting and the sponsor, the Twelve Steps and the Big Book, the Serenity Prayer, the chip that marks sober time, and the honesty, amends and surrender the steps ask for.
Alcoholics Anonymous began in Akron, Ohio, in 1935, when a stockbroker from New York, Bill Wilson, met a local surgeon, Dr. Bob Smith, and the two found that talking with another alcoholic helped each of them stay sober. Members go by first names and a last initial, which is why the founders are still known as Bill W. and Dr. Bob. Their book Alcoholics Anonymous, published in 1939 and called the Big Book by members, set out the Twelve Steps, which Narcotics Anonymous and many other groups later took up.
The steps start with admitting powerlessness and a life that had become unmanageable, move through a written moral inventory, and come to making amends to the people who were harmed. A sponsor is a member with longer sobriety who walks a newer member, the sponsee, through them. Chips or medallions mark time sober, from 24 hours to 30 days, 90 days and each yearly anniversary. Many meetings close with the Serenity Prayer, written by the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, which asks for the serenity to accept the things that cannot be changed.
