The 12 Steps of AA
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a fellowship that provides support for people seeking to overcome alcohol addiction. The program outlines a 12-step process to guide members on their recovery journey:
- Admitting powerlessness over alcohol and that lives have become unmanageable.
- Coming to believe in a Power greater than oneself that can restore sanity.
- Making the decision to turn will and lives over to the care of God as understood.
- Making searching and fearless moral inventory of selves.
- Admitting to God, selves, and other humans the exact nature of wrongs.
- Becoming entirely ready to have God remove all defects of character.
- Humbly asking God to remove shortcomings.
- Making a list of all persons harmed and becoming willing to make amends.
- Making direct amends to such people where possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
- Continuing to take personal inventory and when wrong, promptly admitting it.
- Seeking through prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with God as understood, praying only for knowledge of God’s will and the power to carry that out.
- Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, trying to carry this message to others struggling with alcoholism and to practice these principles in all affairs.
