-
We
admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind altering
substances -- 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 him.
-
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 Him 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 him, praying only for knowledge of His
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 addicts, and to practice these principles in
all our affairs
