The 12 Steps of AA

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) outlines a 12-step program to help members achieve and maintain sobriety. The steps aim to motivate members to make positive changes in their lives.

The 12 Steps are:

1. Admit powerlessness over alcohol and that lives have become unmanageable
2. Come to believe a Power greater than ourselves can restore sanity
3. Make decision to turn will and lives over to the care of God as we understand Him
4. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of selves
5. Admit to God, ourselves, and other human beings the exact nature of wrongs
6. Become entirely ready to have God remove all defects of character
7. Humbly ask Him to remove shortcomings
8. Make a list of all persons harmed and become willing to make amends to them all
9. Make direct amends whenever possible, except when doing so would injure themselves or others
10. Continue to take personal inventory and when wrong, promptly admit it
11. Seek through prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with God as we understand Him, praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry that out
12. Having a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, try to carry this message to other alcoholics and practice these principles in all affairs
