STEP 1
We admitted we were
powerless over alcohol - that
our lives had become
unmanageable.
STEP 2
Came to believe that a Power
greater than ourselves could
restore us to sanity
STEP 3
Made a decision to turn our
will and our lives over to the
care of God as we understood
Him.
STEP 4
Made a searching and fearless
moral inventory of ourselves.
STEP 5
Admitted to God, to ourselves,
and to another human being
the exact nature of our wrongs.
STEP 6
Were entirely ready to have
God remove all these defects
of character.
STEP 7
Humbly asked Him to remove
our shortcomings.
STEP 8
Made a list of all persons we
had harmed, and became
willing to make amends to
them all.
STEP 9
Made direct amends to such
people wherever possible,
except when to do so would
injure them or others.
STEP 10
Continued to take personal
inventory and when we were
wrong promptly admitted it.
STEP 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.
STEP 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.

Yes, I'm on day 123 and I'm looking foward to this sober journey
Give us an update..>?
How are you getting on?
Surrendering the ego, let go of self, help others!❤
Every single alcoholic knows EXACTLY what he is saying! I can talk to another alcoholic who I have never met like he or she is an old friend... I can hear their story, that I have never heard before and know it by heart.
It's like a family.
I thank God almighty that he turned to the Church directory. A complete act of Providence. He phoned the Reverend Walter Tunks and the rest is AA history and millions of lives saved. A very grateful recovered alcoholic. Born 1963. Sober 1995 God bless all who read this 👍♥️🇬🇧✝️🙏
The simple program for complicated people.. keep it simple folks.. read the literature .. one day at a time we help each other with our experiences … we are not drs psychiatrists or counselors … we are not saints … we do not preach.. we do not fix.. we aren’t teachers … we aren’t better than … we get better at … I love this program at its simplest level… I thank God as I understand God for AA & my recovery 🫂🙏
we help ourselves by helping others. this program works!
I will have been sober for 1 year in 2 days time. Something is doing for me what I could NEVER do for myself.
miracle!
This man was chosen, was inspired, was a messenger. By whom? Some cosmic force for good, I imagine. He was probably a jerk a lot and I bet he sinned beyond belief like the rest of us but he did not make what he taught, wrote, or established about himself. There is no tenet nor step of AA that says "Oh, and by the way, thank our Great Leader Bill and his prophet Dr. Bob who gave you your sobriety and your life." Nah. My man was a scumbag like me but he walked a higher path. One I hope to walk myself.
I'm pretty sure this was filmed at what now is called stepping Stones, Bill and Lois's residence until they both it's a great place to visit if you've never been there go!
