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

Came to believe that a Power greater than
our- selves could restore us to sanity. |

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

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory
of ourselves. |

these defects of character. |

Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. |

and became willing to make amends to them all. |

|
| 10. |
Continued to take personal inventory and
when we were wrong promptly admitted it. |
|

Sought through prayer and meditation to improve
our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying

that out. |

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. |
