do this, get that

~ Jason Schwartz

Rabbi Taub offers an agnostic-friendly explanation of how the steps work:

It is my personal belief—and this is the theologian in me talking now—that the Steps work because they conform to certain basic, immutable laws of the universe. “You do this, you get that.” … The Steps do not teach what the laws of the universe are. … The Steps do train a person, however, to live in a way that is in harmony with these laws.
