AWG Secular 12 Step Self-Esteem Group š
Code: 781927
Meeting description
It is not mandatory to turn on your mic or camera. Coming to listen is totally fine.
By taking part, we hold space for others, and ourselves, to participate in a way that is manageable for us as we exist right now.
It is not necessary to actively be doing the AWG 12 Steps in order to be a full participant.
Any contact with the group and its resources can be beneficial as long as itās sustainable for each of us as individuals. Many of us participate simply by attending meetings.
As we participate in this meeting over time, we might find ourselves seeking toā¦
ā¢ Find our own concept of self-esteem and grow toward it
ā¢ Come to understand personal boundaries, their roles in our lives, and how to develop and maintain healthy boundaries
ā¢ Understand the concept of nonviolent detachment and how and when to enact it
ā¢ Develop more manageable lifestyles
ā¢ Develop a sense of self that leads to more health, well being, and manageability in our lives
ā¢ Release others from the responsibility of defining or reinforcing our sense of self-esteem
ā¢ Form personal goals about self-esteem and self-concept based on our own understanding of our own needs, as they exist today

Towards a new closing affirmation
In relation to our current 12 Steps, what are the most important ingredients for a closing affirmation for this meeting?
Our closing affirmation has served us well. But now that we have a new 12 Steps, the focus of of the group has expanded a bit. Today we share on our ideas for a new or modified closing affirmation that reflects our new 12 Steps.
Current closing affirmation:
Knowing I am autistic, I can learn to distinguish between harmful mistakes I should make amends for, and autistic traits Iām not to blame for. If anyone has harmed me in any way, I know how to self-care and set boundaries in ways which suit me, even when those ways are not intuitive to others. If a situation is unmanageable right now, I trust in myself, the autistic community, and the world to show me strengths beyond my current awareness as time goes by.
