Here you go MutePoint,
I've put these on my wall and find them very peaceful.

1. We realized that we were giving our power away to the belief that love exists outside ourselves.
2. We came to believe that all the Love we need exists within ourselves.
3. We made a decision to give our full and complete commitment to knowing the Love within ourselves.
4. We took a searching and courageous inventory of all the ways we judged ourselves or others or allowed ourselves to feel like a victim, while loving and accepting ourselves.
5. While loving ourselves, we shared with another human being the Truth we had discovered about ourselves through this process.
6. We made a list of all the parts of ourselves that did not feel worthy of love, and we made a decision to love them.
7. Through our full commitment to loving ourselves, we confidently realized that we had restored ourselves to integrity.
8. We made a list of all those we had disrespected, abused or manipulated for selfish purposes, and we looked at the ways that through doing this, we were actually abusing ourselves.
9. We forgave and made amends to ourselves and then extended the same spirit of forgiveness and restoration in all of our relationships.
10. We continue to take daily inventory of all the ways that we are not accepting and loving ourselves, and when we see these areas, promptly love ourselves.
11. We realize constant communion with the Source of Love within ourselves, through continued prayer and meditation.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of following these steps, we automatically love others as we love ourselves and carry this message to those who still suffer.
