over pills - that our lives had become
unmanageable."

"Came to believe that a power
greater than ourselves could restore
us to sanity".
Step 3:

our lives over to the care of God as
we understood him."
Step 4:

moral inventory of ourselves."
Step 5:
"Admitted to God, to ourselves and
to another human being the exact
nature of our wrongs."
Step 6:

remove all these defects of
character."
Step 7:
" Humbly asked Him to remove our
shortcomings."
Step 8:
"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."
Step 10:
"Continued to take personal inventory
and when we were wrong promptly
admitted it."
Step 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."
Step 12:
"Having had a spiritual awakening as the
result of these steps, we tried to carry
this message to pill addicts, and to
practice these principles in all our affairs."
