The 12 Steps :::
1:
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol -
that our lives had become unmanageable.
2: Came to believe that a power
greater than ourselves could restore us to
sanity.
3: Made a decision to turn our will
and our lives over to the care of God as we
understood Him.
4: Made a searching and fearless
moral inventory of ourselves.
5: Admitted to God, to ourselves, and
to another human being the exact nature of
our wrongs.
6: Were entirely ready to have God
remove all these defects of character.
7: Humbly asked Him to remove our
shortcomings.
8: Made a list of all persons we had
harmed, and became willing to make amends to
them all.
9: Made direct amends to such people
wherever possible, except when to do so
would injure them or others.
10: Continued to take personal
inventory and when we were wrong promptly
admitted it.
11: Sought through prayer and
meditation to improve our conscious contact
with God as we understood Him, praying only
for knowledge of His will for us and the
power to carry that out.
12: Having had a spiritual awakening as
the result of these steps, we tried to carry
this message to alcoholics and to practice
these principles in all our affairs.
