Once a month John R. posts a question about Step Eleven and through out the month the writers post their responses. The blog brings together seven writers to date, from varied religious backgrounds. Contributors to this blog join together to help those who are just starting this journey as well as giving new perspectives to those who are well on their way. Contributors include: · Carol Ann Preston - author of "Remembering Who We Are: a workbook". Host of The Carol Ann Preston Show podcast on Take12Radio.com · David Lee Byrd - author of “Living A Spiritual Life” and “Life Seeds” · Dick B - author of “The Conversion of Bill W.

Bloggers can copy and paste the monthly question to their own blogs and answer the question or people can start an IOCC journal to write on a private level. Forums can also host a thread dedicated to these questions. The Monthly Question is the IOCC newsletter. Each month a selected contributor will answer two questions on their own. The answers to these questions are posted on the "About The Writers" page. IOCC is supported in part by soberMusicians.com |
