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 characters
Step 7 - Humbly ask Him to remove our shortcomings
Step 8 - Made a list of all the persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all
Step 9 - Made a 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
Tradition 1 - Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon AA unity
Tradition 2 - For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority- a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience our leaders are but trusted servants, they do not govern
Tradition 3 - The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking
Tradition 4 - Each group should be autonomous expect in matters affecting other groups or AA as a whole
Tradition 5 - Each group has but one primary purpose, to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers
Tradition 6 - An AA group never endorse, finance or lend the AA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose
Tradition 7 - Every AA group ought to be fully self supporting, declining outside contributions
Tradition 8 - AA should remain forever non professional, but our service centers may employ special workers
Tradition 9 - AA as such ought never be organized but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve
Tradition 10 - AA has no opinion on outside issues, hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy
Tradition 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
