Admit powerlessness: "The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success." - Alcoholics Anonymous, Chapter 5
Believe in a higher power: "We found that as soon as we were able to lay aside prejudice and express even a willingness to believe in a Power greater than ourselves, we commenced to get results, even though it was impossible for any of us to fully define or comprehend that Power, which is God." - Alcoholics Anonymous, Chapter 1
Turn your will over to God: "The principle that we shall find no enduring strength until we first admit complete defeat is the main taproot from which our whole Society has sprung and flowered." - Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Step 1
Take a moral inventory: "When we saw others solve their problems by a simple reliance upon the Spirit of the Universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God. Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did." - Alcoholics Anonymous, Chapter 5
Admit your wrongs to God and to others: "We made a list of people we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all." - Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 8
Be ready to have God remove all defects of character: "If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness." - Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 6
Humbly ask for God's help: "We asked Him to remove our shortcomings." - Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 7
