1. We admitted we were powerless over nothing. We could manage our
lives perfectly and we could manage those of anyone else that would
allow it.
2. Came to believe that there was no power greater than ourselves, and
the rest of the world was insane.
3. Made a decision to have our loved ones and friends turn their wills
and their lives over to our care.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of everyone we knew.
5. Admitted to the whole world at large the exact nature of their
wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to make others straighten up and do right.
7. Demanded others to either "shape up or ship out".
8. Made a list of anyone who had ever harmed us and became willing to
go to any lengths to get even with them all.
9. Got direct revenge on such people whenever possible except when to
do so would cost us our own lives, or at the very least, a jail
sentence.
10. Continued to take inventory of others, and when they were wrong
promptly and repeatedly told them about it.
11. Sought through nagging to improve our relations with others as we
couldn't understand them at all, asking only that they knuckle under
and do things our way.
12. Having had a complete physical, emotional and spiritual breakdown
as a result of these steps, we tried to blame it on others and to get
sympathy and pity in all our affairs.
---------
Sent with best regards to all and with hopes that you all have another
sober day.
