We admitted we were POWERLESS over a lot more than alcohol — that our lives would continue to be UNMANAGEABLE until we took responsibility for creating a true masterpiece of our existence
Came to believe that a power greater than our own resources, ego and awareness could lead us to wisdom.
Made a decision to accept truths revealed in our search for wisdom and make choices and decisions in support of our DESTINY without reservation.
Made a searching and fearless inventory of our character strengths and virtues.
Admitted to ourselves and others the exact nature of our strengths and virtues.
Were entirely ready to embrace my strengths in pursuit of flourishing as a human being.
Humbly sought help from whatever source to unlock my potential.
Made a list of all beings we should love and became willing to actively help them flourish.
Made a direct effort through my life and my calling to love all beings and to help them flourish throughout their lives.
Continued to monitor my life values, goals, and accomplishments through personal logs, journals and the input of trusted advisers and when we strayed took corrective action on an immediate basis.
Sought through prayer, meditation and reflection knowledge of our true place in the universe and how best to contribute for the betterment of all.
Having had a psychic awakening as a result of these steps we carried the message of a life filled with flourishing to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
