The Principles Behind the Steps

I was looking at my step-work notebook today and saw the 3x5 index card taped to the front, entitled "12 Principles of the 12 Steps".

This was given to me at a meeting by a now-deceased Al-Anon member who would often hand these hand-written cards to members of the group. She was in her 80s when I knew her and had been recovering for, oh, about 197 years (or 30. One of those, certainly ).

So I'd like to share it here today with my SR friends!

12 Principles of the 12 Steps (according to Mary B, anyway )

1. Honesty
2. Hope
3. Faith
4. Courage
5. Integrity
6. Willingness
7. Humility
8. Brotherly Love
9. Self-discipline
10. Perserverance
11. Awareness
12. Service

Yup, that's what I'm aiming for. Not all of them are coming to me via the Steps, however I can see where they would.

Thanks for sharing, ncp.
