Hi Everyone! I came across a list that shows the principle that goes along with each of the 12 steps and I really found it interesting and wanted to share it and find out what yall thought of it too. (This list does not show to be Al-Anon approved lit)
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable. ~principle - Honesty~
2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. ~ Hope~
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him. ~Faith~
4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of ourselves. ~Courage~
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. ~Integrity~
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. ~Willingness~
7. Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings. ~Humility~
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. ~Love~
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. ~Discipline~
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. ~Patience/Perseverance~
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. ~Awareness~
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. ~Service~
Hope you enjoyed looking these over!
