to sanity.

nature of our wrongs.
Willingness

character.
Humility

amends to them all.
Justice
Step 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to
do so would injure them or others.
Perseverance
Step 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong
promptly admitted it.
Spirituality
Step 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious
contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of his

Service
Step 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we
tried to carry this message to other alcoholics and to practice these
principles in all our affairs.
