12
Steps of Christians in Recovery
1. We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and
dysfunctions, that our
lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that God, a Power greater than
ourselves, could restore us to
sanity and stability.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to
the care of God as we
understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of
ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human
being the exact nature of
our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these
defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became
willing to make amends
to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible,
except when to do so
would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were
wrong promptly
admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our
conscious contact with
God as we understood Him, praying
only for knowledge of His will for us
and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of
these steps, we tried to carry
this message to others, and
to practice these principles in all our affairs.
