we deal with alcohol; cunning, baffling, and powerful. without help, it is too much for us. but there is one who has all power. that one is God. may you find him now! half measures availed us. we stood at the turning point. we asked hos care and protection with complete abandon.
here are the steps we took which are suggested as a program of recovery( in plain english):
1. Alcohol will kill me.
2. There's a power that wants me to live.
3. Do I want to live or die? (if you want to die, stop here)
4. Write about how I got to where I am.
5. Tell another person all about me (let God listen).
6. Want to change.
7. Ask a power greater than me to help me change.
8. Write down who I've hurt.
9. Fix what I can without hurting anyone else.
10. Accept that I'm human and will screw up. Fix it immediately.
11. Ask a power greater than me to show me how to live.
12. Keep doing 1 through 11 and pass it on.
