Twelve Step ReviewIdentify a situation or condition in your life that
is currently a source of unmanagability
Describe the situation and indicate your concern.Use the following
questions to apply the principles of the 12 Steps to your situation.
Step One: In what ways are you powerless over what’s happening and how
is this situation
showing you the unmanageability of your life, or how will continuing to
try to control make
life more unmanagable?
Step Two: How do you see your Higher Power as helping you to restore
your sanity? You can
start by looking outside your own head and your usual solutions.
Step Three: How does being willing to turn your life over to the care
of your Higher Power
assist you in dealing with this?
Step Four: What character defects have surfaced? (such as survival
skills learned during using, obsessive/compulsive
behavior, rescuing, excessive responsibility, unexpressed feelings,
resentment, etc.)
Step Five: Admit your wrongs (ineffective survival skills), at least to
your Higher Power and
yourself. Discuss it with someone in the program.
Step Six: Are you entirely ready to have your Higher Power remove the
character defects
(ineffective survival skills) that have surfaced?
Step Seven: Can you humbly ask your Higher Power to remove your
shortcomings? If not
what is your resistance? Erasing them is impossible but working towards
the way you’d like to
be and letting go may be effective.
Step Eight: Make a list of people being harmed.
Step Nine: What amends are necessary, and how will you make the amends?
Talk this over
with someone experienced in program. Living amends, changing behavior,
is a part of this.
Step Ten: Review the above steps to be sure that nothing has been
overlooked. Check yourself
daily for old survival skills and new more effective actions. Write
them down.
