      The Twelve Steps Of Alcoholics Anonymous*

      1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.

      2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

      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 alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

      HAZELDEN INFORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

      is a division of the Hazelden Foundation, a notforprofit organization. Since 1949, Hazelden has been a leader in promoting the dignity and treatment of people afflicted with the disease of chemical dependency

      The mission of the foundation is to improve the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities by providing a national continuum of information, education, and recovery services that are widely accessible; to advance the field through research and training; and to improve our quality and effectiveness through continuous improvement and innovation.

      Stemming from that, the mission of this division is to provide quality information and support to people wherever they may be in their personal journey—from education and early intervention, through treatment and recovery, to personal and spiritual growth.

      Although our treatment programs do not necessarily use everything Hazelden publishes, our bibliotherapeutic materials support our mission and the Twelve Step philosophy upon which it is based. We encourage your comments and feedback.

      The headquarters of the Hazelden Foundation are in Center City, Minnesota. Additional treatment facilities are located in Chicago, Illinois; New York, New York;

      Plymouth, Minnesota; St. Paul, Minnesota; and West Palm Beach, Florida. At these sites, we provide a continuum of care for men and women of all ages. Our Plymouth facility is designed specifically for youth and families.
