1. I ADMITTED THAT I WAS SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT AND THAT MY LIFE HAD BECOME UNMANAGEABLE.
2. I CAME TO BELIEVE THAT GOD WHO IS GREATER
THAN MYSELF COULD AND WOULD RESTORE MY
FAITH.
3. I MADE A DECISION TO TURN MY LIFE OVER TO THE
CARE OF GOD, AS I UNDERSTAND HIM.
4. MAKE A SEARCHING AND FEARLESS MORAL
INVENTORY OF MYSELF.
5. I ADMITTED TO GOD, TO MYSELF AND TO ANOTHER
HUMEN BEING THE EXACT NATURE OF MY WRONGS.
6. I AM ENTIRELY READY TO HAVE GOD REMOVE ALL THE
DEFECTS OF MY CHARACTER.
7. I HUMBLY ASKED GOD TO REMOVE MY SHORTCOMINGS.
8. I MADE A LIST OF ALL PERSONS I HAD HARMED,
AND BECAME WILLING TO MAKE AMENDS TO THEM
ALL.
9. I MADE DIRECT AMENDS TO SUCH PEOPLE
WHEREVER POSSIBLE, EXCEPT WHEN TO DO SO
WOULD INJURE THEM OR OTHERS.
10. I CONTINUED TO TAKE PERSONAL INVENTORY AND
WHEN I WAS WRONG I PROMPTLY ADMITTED IT.
11. I SOUGHT THROUGH PRAYER AND MEDITATION
TO IMPROVE MY CONSCIOUS CONTACT WITH GOD,
AS I UNDERSTAND HIM, PRAY FOR KNOWLEDGE
OF HIS WILL FOR ME AND THE POWER TO CARRY
THAT OUT.
12. HAVING HAD A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AS THE
RESULT OF THESE STEPS, I TRY TO CARRY THIS
MESSAGE TO OTHERS AND TO PRACTICE THESE
PRINCIPLES IN ALL MY AFFAIRS.
