I followed Don Kao, a Chinese American LGBT activist, around for weeks on an assignment from New York Times photo editor James Estrin. I captured this moment of Don helping a woman fill out paperwork. It exemplifies how hands-on and willing to help Don is, especially among LGBTQ youth.

Join Lets Do The 12 Steps: A Proven Path to Recovery in Pomona, CA

Experience the Power of Togetherness in Recovery

Lets Do The 12 Steps, based in Pomona, CA, offers a unique and proven approach to overcoming alcoholism and addiction by following the footsteps of the First One Hundred who pioneered this path. Our program centers around togetherness, where participants take the Twelve Steps collectively in a supportive environment. This shared journey builds a strong community and fosters accountability, crucial elements for lasting recovery.

Innovative Four-Session Program Inspired by History

Our method is inspired by Wally P's Back to Basics, a reenactment of the 1946 Beginners’ Meetings where newcomers complete all Twelve Steps in just four one-hour sessions. This time-tested program of action has helped over 700,000 individuals take meaningful steps toward sobriety. By compressing the process into focused sessions, we provide an accessible, effective way for participants to engage deeply with the recovery process.

Empowering Participants Through Teaching

At Lets Do The 12 Steps, every participant who completes all four sessions earns the opportunity to become a teacher for future meetings. This unique aspect not only reinforces their own recovery but also embodies the principle that "nothing so much ensures immunity from alcoholism/addiction as working with other addicts/alcoholics." Join us and be part of a thriving community where over 500,000 people have successfully recovered through these Beginners’ Meetings.
