We
admitted we were powerless over love, romance, fantasies and
relationships—that our lives had become unmanageable.
-
Came
to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore
us to sanity.
-
Made
a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care
of God as we understood God.
-
Made
a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
-
Admitted
to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact
nature of our wrongs.
-
Were
entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
-
Humbly
asked God to remove our shortcomings.
-
Made
a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to
make amends to them all.
-
Made
direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when
to do so would injure them or others.
-
Continued
to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly
admitted it.
-
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.
-
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.
