12Steps Program For Codependents and Addicts.

< Previous | Home | Next >

The 12 Suggested Steps Used by Sociologist to help people:
1. We admitted we were powerless over Codependency or drugs or alcohol and 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/Her.
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/Her 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/Her, praying only for knowledge of His/Her 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 people who are codependents, alcoholics, and addict, so they can practice these principles in all their affairs.
