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