Know
The 12 Steps of AA
AA’s 12-Step approach follows a set of guidelines designed
as “steps” toward recovery, and members can revisit these
steps at any time. The 12 Steps are:
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—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.
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 to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became
willing to make amends to them all.

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.
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 a�airs.
Stats on Alcohol Abuse
Per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5), in order to be diagnosed with an alcohol use
disorder (AUD), individuals must meet any two of 11 criteria
during the same 12-month period. An estimated 16 million
people in the U.S. have an AUD, yet only a small percentage
of those individuals seek treatment. In 2015, only 4.4% of
people age 12 and older received specialty treatment for an
alcohol use disorder.
