1. We admitted we were powerless over
alcohol--that our lives had become
unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that
a Power greater tha 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 othes. 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 knowlege 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 ths message to
alcoholics, and to practice these
principles in all our
affairs.
