Step One
Dear Lord, I admit that I am powerless over my addiction.
I admit that my life is unmanageable when I try to control it.
Help me this day to understand The true meaning of powerlessness.
Remove from me all denial of my addiction.
Step Two
Heavenly Father, I know in my heart
that only you can restore me to sanity. I humbly ask that you remove all twisted thought &
Addictive behavior from me this day. Heal my spirit & restore in me a clear mind.
Step Three
God, I offer myself to Thee
To build with me & to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self,
that I may better do Thy will.
Take away my difficulties, That victory over them may bear witness
To those I would help of Thy Power, Thy love & Thy way of life,
May I do Thy will always!
Step Four
Dear God, It is I who has made my life a mess.
I have done it, but I cannot undo it.
My mistakes are mine & I will begin
a searching & fearless moral inventory. I will write down my wrongs
But I will also include that which is good. I pray for the strength to complete the task.
Step Five
Higher Power, My inventory has shown me who I am,
Yet I ask for Your help In admitting my wrongs to another person & to You.
Assure me, & be with me, in this Step, For without this Step I cannot
progress in my recovery. With Your help, I can do this, & I do it.
Step Six
Dear God, I am ready for Your help
In removing from me the defects of character
Which I now realize are an obstacle to my recovery.
Help me to continue being honest with myself & Guide me toward spiritual & mental health.
Step Seven
My Creator,
I am now willing that you should have all of me, good & bad.
I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character
Which stands in the way of my usefulness to you & my fellows.
Grant me strength, as I go out from here to do your bidding.
Step Eight
Higher Power, I ask Your help
in making my list of all those I have harmed.
I will take responsibility for my mistakes & Be forgiving to others as You are forgiving to me.
Grant me the willingness to begin my restitution. This I pray.
Step Nine
Higher Power, I pray for the right attitude to make my amends,
Being ever mindful not to harm others in the process.
I ask for Your guidance in making indirect amends. Most important, I will continue to make amends
By staying abstinent, helping others & Growing in spiritual progress.
Step Ten
I pray I may continue: To grow in understanding & effectiveness;
To take daily spot check inventories of myself; To correct mistakes when I make them;
To take responsibility for my actions;
To be ever aware of my negative & Self-defeating attitudes & behaviors;
To keep my willfulness in check; To always remember I need Your help;
To keep love & tolerance of others as my code; & To continue in daily prayer how I
can best serve You, My Higher Power.
Step Eleven
Higher Power, as I understand You, I pray to keep my connection with You
Open & clear from the confusion of daily life. Through my prayers & meditation I ask
especially for Freedom from self-will,
rationalization, & wishful thinking. I pray for the guidance of
correct thought & positive action. Your will Higher Power, not mine, be done.
Step Twelve
Dear God, My spiritual awakening continues to unfold.
The help I have received I shall pass on & give to others,
Both in & out of the Fellowship. For this opportunity I am grateful.
I pray most humbly to continue walking day by day On the road of spiritual progress.
I pray for the inner strength & wisdom To practice the principles of this way of life
in all I do & say. I need You, my friends, & the program
every hour of every day. This is a better way to live.
