remember the 12 steps

[MajestyJo]

The 12 Steps are a common denominator between all Fellowships. They are applicable to all areas of my life, including pain, eating disorder, busy/workaholic, etc. a drug is a drug.

The Twevle Steps

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - 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 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 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 Him,
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 alcoholics, and to
practice these principles in all our affairs.
