-
We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our
lives had become unmanageable.
-
We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could
restore us to sanity.
-
We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we
understood Him.
-
We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
-
We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being
the exact nature of our wrongs.
-
We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of
character.
-
We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
-
We made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became
willing to make amends to them all.
-
We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except
when to do so would injure them or others.
-
We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong
promptly admitted it.
-
We 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.
-
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry
this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
