Alcoholic Anonymous

12- Steps Programs

  

To address the issue of substance abuse among airline personnel, the Federal Aviation Administration has implemented various support programs and initiatives. These include the implementation of mandatory drug and alcohol testing, as well as the provision of resources for employees seeking treatment. One approach is the promotion of 12-step programs, which have been found to be effective in addressing substance abuse issues within the aviation industry.


Spiritual restoration begins with early exposure to 12-step programs such as Alcohol and Narcotics Anonymous, which are mutual-help fellowships that embrace the 12-step philosophy. 


As a widely recognized and utilized approach in programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, the 12-step model emphasizes the importance of personal accountability, peer support, and a comprehensive approach to recovery, making it a valuable tool for addressing substance abuse among airline employees. 

                    Alcoholic Anonymous                     

The Twelve Steps

These  Twelve Steps, adapted nearly word-for-word from the Twelve Steps of  Alcoholics Anonymous, have been a tool for spiritual growth for millions  of Al‑Anon/Alateen members. At meetings, Al‑Anon/Alateen members share  with each other the personal lessons they have learned from practicing  from these Steps.


  1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
  2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
  3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
  4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
  5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
  6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
  7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
  8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
  9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
  10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
  11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
  12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we  tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles  in all our affairs.

The First Step to Healing

Al-Anon

Attending Al-Anon Family Group meetings can provide airline personnel and their loved ones with invaluable support and practical tools to navigate the challenges posed by alcoholism. These meetings offer a safe space for individuals affected by a colleague's or family member's alcohol use disorder to share their experiences, learn coping strategies, and receive emotional support from others who understand the unique difficulties they face. By fostering a sense of community and offering guidance on setting boundaries, managing codependent behaviors, and prioritizing self-care, Al-Anon can empower those impacted by substance abuse within the aviation industry to better address the far-reaching consequences of alcoholism on their most cherished relationships.

Al-Anon Meetings

Birds of a Feather (BOAF Al-Alon)

This Al-Anon meeting of the Birds of a Feather has been established to address the special needs of family members of pilots, and aircrew members, whose lives have been affected by alcoholism. BOAF Al-Anon is also valuable to help our sober pilot members who are parents of alcoholics or are adult children of alcoholics.
