Celebrate Recovery

The 12 Steps

1. We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, and that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. We made a decision to turn our wills and our lives over to the care of God.

4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. We humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings.

8. We made a list of all persons we have harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. We made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when doing so would hurt them or others.

10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious effort with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and power to carry it out.

12. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
