What You Should Know About the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous
If you know someone who is in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), then you should know a little about their famous 12 step system. To help you get a better understanding, we have included each individual step, as well as a little more on what it signifies.
1. Admitting powerlessness – Only by admitting that drinking has gotten out of control and cannot be controlled is the recovery process begun. This is the part where the words “Hello, I’m ____, and I’m an alcoholic” are said.
2. Greater power – Recovering alcoholics are asked to admit to a higher power that is greater than themselves and can restore their lives.
3. Turning over of will – Because alcoholics have a constant will to drink and do things their own way, it can often lead to relapse. Turning over their will to those who can help them into recovery is an important step.
4. Taking inventory – Only by acknowledging past transgressions can alcoholics begin to move past them. This can be a very painful and intimate step.
5. Admittance – In combination with Step 4, this involves admitting to God or another human being of the transgressions they have committed.
6. Removal – This step is where the alcoholic allows their sins and transgressions to be removed by God so that the healing process can begin.
7. Remove shortcomings – Similar to the above, this step involves God to remove shortcomings in addition to sins.
8. Making amends – This is the step that involves making a list of all those you have harmed and contacting them to make amends.
9. Making direct amends – When saying “I’m sorry” isn’t enough, there is this step. This can involve making direct amends, such as paying for damages caused or spending time with those who have been neglected.
10. Continuance of personal inventory – If an item was left off Step 4 or 5, now is the time to go over what has been done and needs to be fixed.
11. Prayer – Whether direct prayer to God or meditation, it is an important part of the recovery process.
12. Awakening and spreading the message – The final step involves a spiritual awakening and the dedication to helping others who are going through the process.
