- We admitted we were powerless over the effects of alcoholism or other
family dysfunction, that our lives had become unmanageable.
- Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore
us to sanity.
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of
God as we understand God.
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory
of ourselves.
- Admitted to God, to our selves, and to another human being the exact
nature of our wrongs.
- Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
- Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.
- Made a list of all persons we had harmed and
became willing to make amends to them all.
- Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to
do so would injure them or others.
- Continued to take personal inventory and, when we were wrong, promptly
admitted it.
- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve
our conscious contact with God, as we understand God, praying only for
knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry it out.
- Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried
to carry this message to others who still suffer, and to practice these
principles in all our affairs.
