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