THE TWELVE STEPS: A RE-WRITE

• Step 1 - We declare that we are powerful and that our lives are manageable
• Step 2 - We understand that we are perfectly sane and do not need to be restored to sanity
• Step 3 - We know that we have control of our lives and responsibility for our every action
• Step 4 - We make a searching and fearless inventory of ourselves
• Step 5 - We declare to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our strengths
• Step 6 - We realize we are solid in character and that we are amazing
• Step 7 - We celebrate our strengths
• Step 8 - We make a list of all persons we had harmed, and asked them for forgiveness as we forgave ourselves
• Step 9 - We make direct amends to such people and to ourselves
• Step 10 - We continue to take personal inventory and make frequent affirmations of our self-worth and strength
• Step 11 - Seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with ourselves, affirming our will and power
• Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, practice these principles in all our affairs
