The Twelve Steps That Most Of Us Arrived With

[lizw]

THE TWELVE STEPS THAT MOST OF US ARRIVED WITH

1. I DECIDED THAT I COULD HANDLE MY DRINKING PROBLEM IF
OTHER PEOPLE WOULD JUST QUIT TRYING TO RUN MY LIFE.

2. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO GREATER POWER THAN
MYSELF AND ANYONE WHO SAID SO WAS INSANE.

3. I MADE A DECISION TO REMOVE MY WILL AND MY LIFE FROM
GOD, WHO DIDN’T UNDERSTAND ME ANYHOW.

4. I MADE A SEARCHING AND THOROUGH MORAL INVENTORY OF EVERYONE
I KNOW, SO THEY COULDN’T FOOL ME AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY GOOD NATURE.

5. I SOUGHT THOSE PEOPLE OUT AND TRIED TO GET THEM TO ADMIT
TO ME, BY GOD, THE EXACT NATURE OF THEIR WRONGS.

6. I BECAME WILLING TO HELP THESE PEOPLE GET RID OF THESE
DEFECTS OF CHARACTER.

7. I WAS HUMBLE ENOUGH TO ASK THESE PEOPLE TO REMOVE THEIR SHORTCOMINGS.

8. I KEPT A LIST OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HARMED ME AND WAITED
PATIENTLY TO GET EVEN WITH THEM.

9. I GOT EVEN WITH THOSE PEOPLE WHENEVER POSSIBLE EXCEPT
WHEN TO DO SO WOULD GET ME IN TROUBLE.

10. I CONTINUED TO TAKE EVERYONE’S INVENTORY AND WHEN THEY WERE WRONG, I PROMPTLY MADE THEM ADMIT IT.

11. SOUGHT THROUGH CONCENTRATION OF MY WILL POWER TO
GET GOD TO SEE THAT MY IDEAS WERE BEST AND HE OUGHT TO GIVE ME THE POWER TO CARRY THEM OUT.

12. HAVING MAINTAINED MY STABILITY FOR YEARS WITH THESE STEPS,
I CAN THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO OTHERS WHO DON’T
WANT TO LOSE THEIR HARD EARNED STATUS, BUT WISH TO BE LEFT
ALONE TO PRACTICE THIS SERENITY IN EVERYTHING THEY DO FOR THE REST OF THE DAYS OF THEIR LIVES...
