We admitted we were powerless over alcohol that our lives had become un-manageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power Greater than ourselves could restore us to san-ity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

5 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 re-move 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.

6 12. Having had a spiritual awaking as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics , and to prac-tice these principles in all our affairs. 1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends on unity. 2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate au-thority a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern. 3. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. 4. Each group should be autonomous except in mat-ters affecting other groups or as a whole. 5. Each group has but one primary purpose to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers. 6. An group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the name to any related facility or out-side enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

7 7. Every group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. 8. alcoholics anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may em-ploy special workers. 9. , as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve. 10. alcoholics anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the name ought never be drawn into public controversy. 11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films. 12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

10 We will introduce you to this set of useful tools; however, tools are worthless unless we learn how to use them and then use them. Well that s what this little WORKBOOK is about. Our main focus will be learning new ways to expand our application of the program. To help you awaken to the power-ful spiritual principles embodied in the TWELVE Steps (Recovery), TWELVE Traditions (Unity) and TWELVE Concepts for World Service (Service). The main focus of Book One will be on the TWELVE Steps. Awakening we believe is the correct word because it does happen as the result of applying the spiritual principles. We want to dispel the illusion that we are to impose an understanding by applying the principles found in our program.
