The 12 Steps of Yesterday
1. I believed I could control my drinking and that I was master of my own life.
2. I believed that I was all powerful, the center of the universe, and that I was sane and rational in every respect.
3.I decided to run my own life and expected my will to be carried out at all times.
4. I made a thorough and searching inventory of everyone else and found them lacking.
5. I admitted to no one, including myself, that there was anything wrong with me.
6. I sought through alcohol and other drugs to remove all my responsibilities and to escape the responsibility that is life.
7. I got drunk to remove all these shortcomings.
8. I made a list of all persons who harmed me, whether real or imaginary, and swore to get even.
9. I got even whenever possible, except when to do so would further injure me.
10. I continued to find fault with the world and the people in it and swore I was always right.
11. I sought through lying, cheating and stealing to improve myself at the expense of others, seeking only to get drunk and stay drunk.
12. Having had a complete moral, physical, emotional and financial breakdown as a result of this kind of thinking and living, I tried to drag everyone I loved down to my level. And I practiced these principals in all my affairs.
