The 12 Steps of AA

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a support group that provides a 12-step program to help people recover from alcohol addiction. The 12 steps aim to guide members to achieve and maintain sobriety.

  1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable. This first step calls for honest self-assessment and admission of being unable to control alcohol intake.
  2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Step two asks members to open themselves to belief in a higher power that can aid their recovery.
  3. Decided to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. Building on the prior step, three calls for active turning over of control to the higher power.
  4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Four requires deep personal reflection to reveal the ways alcohol has negatively impacted moral character.
  5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. Five continues the confession theme but expands it through admission to another person.
  6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Six aims for openness to character change through the higher power’s work.
  7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. Seven emphasizes humility while asking for personal shortcomings to be removed.
  8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. Here members catalog and take responsibility for relational damages caused by alcoholism.
  9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when doing so would injure them or others. Nine takes practical steps to repair harm done through directed apologies and restitution.
  10. Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. Ten establishes inventory and confession as regular lifelong practices to support sobriety.
  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. Eleven provides spiritual practices to deepen relationships with a higher power.
  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. Finally, twelve call members have changed to share their experience with others needing recovery.
