An excellent spiritual assist for 12 step work (Scott's opinion) is the book entitled "Serenity A Companion For 12 Step Recovery" http://www.amazon.com/Serenity-Companion-Twelve-Step-Recovery/dp/0840715420
Authors Dr Robert Hemfelt http://unjobs.org/authors/robert-hemfelt and Dr Richard Fowler do a powerful job of demonstrating the 12 step work based on the biblical principles that provided the original foundation for AA's 12 step program.
This sentence at the end of the 6th step reading jumped out at me this month: "We will not be healed and sent forward immediately; rather, recovery will be a daily effort to evaluate , balance and adjust the healthy expression of all of our God-given needs" This simply says to me that this whole 12 step thing is a good way to live life and, living life is a full time job that cannot skip a day and stay intact!
.........7 is coming "humbly asked the Power/God to remove our shortcomings"
