STEP 1
We admitted we were 
powerless over alcohol - that 
our lives had become 
unmanageable.


STEP 2
Came to believe that a Power 
greater than ourselves could 
restore us to sanity


STEP 3
Made a decision to turn our 
will and our lives over to the 
care of God as we understood 
Him.


STEP 4
Made a searching and fearless 
moral inventory of ourselves.


STEP 5
Admitted to God, to ourselves, 
and to another human being 
the exact nature of our wrongs.


STEP 6
Were entirely ready to have 
God 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.


STEP 9
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 
alcoholics, and to practice 
these principles in all 
our affairs.
