THE TWELVE STEPS

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - 
that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than 
ourselves could restore us to sanity.

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

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human 
being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these
defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

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

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

10. Continued to take personal inventory and 
when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. 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.

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

Newcomers are not asked to accept or follow
these Twelve Steps in their entirety if they feel 
unwilling or unable to do so.

They will usually be asked to keep an open mind, 
to attend meetings at which recovered alcoholics
describe their personal experiences in achieving
sobriety, and to read A.A. literature describing and i
nterpreting the A.A. program.
