*of Alcoholics Anonymous

1. We admitted that we were powerless over the effects of

alcoholism, 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 GOD 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 GOD, praying only for

knowledge of GOD'S will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the results of these

Steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to

practice these principles in all our affairs.
