From the Paper:

"As participants in traditional 12-Step Programs have sponsors, the counselor could also be a spiritual Seven Step sponsor. Together, the former addict and the counselor can review the Seven Steps together, ensuring that the addict remains bondage-free. The counselor can also assist in removing items of "false worship" from the former addict's home. These could include false idols and tools of the occult, such as innocent-looking tarot cards. The counselor could also be on the lookout for items which may trigger addictions, such as magazines showing glossy liquor ads or even hidden drug paraphernalia."
