Bill Wilson - Singleness of Purpose 1957 --- 

What Is A.A.? 
Alcoholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who have had a drinking problem. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. 

There are no age or education requirements. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about his or her drinking problem. 

Singleness of Purpose and Problems Other Than Alcohol Some professionals refer to alcoholism and drug addiction as "substance abuse" or "chemical dependency." 

Nonalcoholics are, therefore, sometimes introduced to A.A. and encouraged to attend A.A. meetings. 

Anyone may attend open A.A. meetings, but only those with a drinking problem may attend closed meetings. A renowned psychiatrist, who served as a nonalcoholic trustee of the A.A. General Service Board, made the following statement: 

"Singleness of purpose is essential to the effective treatment of alcoholism. 

The reason for such exaggerated focus is to overcome denial. The denial associated with alcoholism is cunning, baffling, and powerful and affects the patient, helper, and the community. 

Unless alcoholism is kept relentlessly in the foreground, other issues will usurp everybody's attention."

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.
