4. Made a searching and fearless moral
inventory of ourselves.
- Looked deep inside ourselves
for Anger, Greed, Resentment and all other self-righteousness feelings we
have been hiding from.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to
another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
- Sat down with a trusted person
and discussed openly the things we had found that were preventing us from
being a "normal" person.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all
these defects of character.
- Made a conscious decision to
let GOD guide us in the way we live our life.
7. Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings.
- Got on our knees and ask for
GOD'S guidance and help in our lives.
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 concious 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 a
result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to
practice these principles in all our affairs.
