A SIMPLE APPROACH TO THE 12 STEPS
Step 1: There's a power that will kill me.
Step 2: There's a Power that wants me to live.
Step 3: Which do I want? (If you want to die, stop here. If you want to
live, go on.)
Step 4: Using examples from your own life, understand that selfishness,
dishonesty, resentment, and fear control your actions.
Step 5: Tell all your private embarrassing secrets to another person.
Step 6: Decide whether or not you want to live that way any more.
Step 7: If you want your life to change, ask a Power greater than yourself
to change it for you. (If you could have changed it yourself, you would
have long ago.)
Step 8: Figure out how to make right all the things you did wrong.
Step 9: Fix what you can without causing more trouble in the process.
Step 10: Understand that making mistakes is part of being human (When you
make a mistake, fix it, immediately if you can.)
Step 11: Ask for help to treat yourself and others the way you want your
Higher Power to treat you.
Step 12: Don't stop doing 1 through 11, and PASS IT ON!!!
