Step 1 – We admitted we were powerless over our addiction – that our lives had become unmanageable
Step 2 – Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
Step 3 – Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a loving Higher Power as we understood it.
Step 4 – Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves
Step 5 – Admitted to our Higher Power, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Step 6 – Were entirely ready to have our Higher Power remove all these defects of character
Step 7 – Humbly asked our Higher Power to remove our shortcomings
Step 8 – Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all
Step 9 – Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others
Step 10 – Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it
Step 11 – Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with our Higher Power as we understood it, praying only for knowledge of their will for us and the power to carry that out
Step 12 – Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs
