Subj:	PAGAN 12 STEPS

So here's the steps in Pagan format.  The creators of these steps claim no copy 
right and no affliation with AA. It is simply an attempt to understand and act 
upon their own process of healing.  It is my hope that those of you who wanted 
to see these steps are able to apply them in you own learning.    

Peace and Blessings   ----  Matt
