Admit that you, of yourself, are powerless to overcome your addictions and that your life has become unmanageable.

Step 2 Hope

Come to believe that the power of God can restore you to complete spiritual health.

Step 3 Trust in God

Decide to turn your will and your life over to the care of God the Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Step 4 Truth

Make a searching and fearless written moral inventory of yourself.

Step 5 Confession

Admit to yourself, to your Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, to proper priesthood authority, and to another person the exact nature of your wrongs.

Step 6 Change of Heart

Become entirely ready to have God remove all your character weaknesses.

Step 7 Humility

Humbly ask Heavenly Father to remove your shortcomings.

Step 8 Seeking Forgiveness

Make a written list of all persons you have harmed and become willing to make restitution to them.

Step 9 Restitution & Reconciliation

Wherever possible, make direct restitution to all persons you have harmed.

Step 10 Daily Accountability

Continue to take personal inventory, and when you are wrong promptly admit it.

Step 11 Personal Revelation

Seek through prayer and meditation to know the Lord’s will and to have the power to carry it out.

Step 12 Service

Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, share this message with others and practice these principles in all you do.
