  1. We admitted we were powerless over our problems and behaviors — that our lives had
    become unmanageable.The Twelve Steps.
  2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.The Twelve Steps.
  3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.The Twelve Steps.
  4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.The Twelve Steps.
  5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.The Twelve Steps.
  6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.The Twelve Steps.
  7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.The Twelve Steps.
  8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.The Twelve Steps.
  9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure
    them or others.The Twelve Steps.
  10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.The Twelve Steps.
  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.The Twelve Steps.
  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.The Twelve Steps.
        Many of us exclaimed, ''What an order! I can't go through with it.'' Do not be discouraged.
    No one among us has been able to maintain anything like perfect adherence to these
    principles. We are not saints. The point is that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines.
    The principles we have set down are guides to progress. We claim spiritual progress rather
    than spiritual perfection.The Twelve Steps.
        Our description of the alcoholic, the chapter to the agnostic, and our personal adventures
    before and after make clear three pertinent ideas:The Twelve Steps.
        (a) That we had a problem and could not manage our own lives.
        (b) That probably no human power could have relieved our problems or behaviors.
        (c) That God could and would if He were sought.The Twelve Steps.
The Twelve Steps. *  R.A. uses A.A.'s Original Twelve Steps with just two slight changes. R.A.'s First Step
says that we were powerless over: ''our problems and behaviors'' instead of
''alcohol.'' R.A.'s Twelfth Step says that we tried to carry this message to: ''others''
instead of ''alcoholics.''
