The 12 Steps of
Christian 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.
