| The
12 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. |
