12 Steps
The heart of the suggested program of personal recovery is contained in twelve steps (aka 12 Steps) describing the experience of the earliest members of the society:
Confession
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
Inference
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Decision
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Moral Inventory
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Recognition of Delusions
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Trust
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Remove Shortcomings
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
List
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Fix Mistakes
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Admit Mistakes
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Pray
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.
Spiritual Awakening
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.
