1: We admitted we were powerless over everything, except our actions and attitudes; and that our lives had become unmanageable.
2: We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3: We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we personally understood Him.
4: We made a searching and detailed moral inventory of our own character assets and defects.
5: We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being our character assets and defects.
6: We prayed for the willingness to have God remove our defects of character until He granted our request.
7: We humbly asked God to use our character assets and to remove the shortcomings.
8: We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
9: We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10: We continued to take an ongoing personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11: We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge 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 this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
