THE TWELVE STEPS

STEP ONE: Recognizing Our Brokenness

We admitted we were powerless over the effects of our separation from God - that our lives had become unmanageable.

STEP TWO: Introducing Hope & Faith

We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

STEP THREE: The Turning Point

We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

STEP FOUR: Constructive Sorrow

We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

STEP FIVE: Acknowledging Our Weaknesses

We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

STEP SIX: Preparing for an Inner Transformation

We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

STEP SEVEN: Character Change

We humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings.

STEP EIGHT: Examining Our Relationships

Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

STEP NINE: Repairing Relationships

We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

STEP TEN: Maintaining Progress

We continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

STEP ELEVEN: Spiritual Momentum

We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our concious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

STEP TWELVE: Serving Others

Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
