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